Leeds reportedly want English defender that Pep Guardiola raved about
Leeds United are reportedly interested in raiding Manchester City for a second time this summer in a move to sign young defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis – and Pep Guardiola raved about him 💙last seas🗹on.
Le🍸eds are seemingly looking at targeting younger players. Charlie Allen, 16, joined Leeds from Northern Irish side Linfield on Tuesday, while 18-year-old Joe Gelhardt move🍸d to Elland Road from Wigan on Monday.
Harwood-Bellis is just 18, and the England Under-19 international has clocked up four senior appearances for City – even scoring against Port Vale in the FA Cup. Desp🐭ite that, though, he has entered the final year of his contract.
that Leeds are🧸 interested in raiding City for a second time – after engineering another loan for Jack Harrison – to sign Harwood-Bellis. Guardiola is a fan, labelling him brilliant in December.
“Eric [Garc💞ia] and Taylor sustained the attacks incredibly well,” . “I was really impressed. With the ball they were brillia♏nt.
“Without the ball they defendedꩵ tough situations against fast and tall players. T♐hey did it really well. I’m very pleased for them and congratulated them because they were extraordinary.”
TBR’s view – Harwood-Bellis an excellent addition
Young, English, and already a youth international – Harwood-Bellis𒁏 is the perfect example of a ꦕplayer that combines the modern ability of a centre-back in terms of possession and pace, but also an old-fashioned, tough-tackling style.
Leeds need defenders. Gaetano Berardi is out of con🥀tract, Ben White is yet to be replaced – or signed – and that leaves just Liam Cooper in terms of first-team centre-backs. Harwood-Bellis may not start, but he would be good cover.
