Newcastle keen on Manchester City defender who is out on loan in the Championship

Posted by

Newcastle United are said to be interested in signing Taylor Harwood-Bellis who has impressed in the Championship this season.

This is according to 90Min, who say that the Magpies are one of a number of top-flight clubs interested in Harwood-Bellis, who has been plying his trade with Championship high-flyers Burnley this season.

Harwood-Bellis has made 30 appearances in all competitions this season, completing 90 minutes in all but one of his 27 Championship games for the Clarets.

Harwood-Bellis has scored just one goal for Burnley – against Preston in September

It is understood that City want to undertake contract extension talks with the 21-year old at the end of the season, but with the likes of Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake all likely to be first-choice options under Pep Guardiola next year, Harwood-Bellis may want a move away that promises him more first team action.

His deal at City, for whom he is yet to make a senior appearance, runs out in 2024 so a move away from his boyhood club in order to further his career could be the right decision to make.
