Wolverhampton Wanderers are now looking to snap up Manchester City defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis after selling Nathan Collins.
Irish international Collins has now completed his move to Brentford in a deal worth around £23million.
It’s imperative that Wolves now go out and spend on a new centre back – especially with Max Kilman attracting interest too.
Wolves will surely look to add a right-footer to replace Collins with left-footed targets needed in case Kilman leaves.
A rumour has emerged for the right-footed spot in Julen Lopetegui’s back line with Taylor Harwood-Bellis wanted.
TEAMtalk now report that Wolves have joined the race to sign City defender Harwood-Bellis this summer.
Brighton and Hove Albion, Everton and Fulham are all understood to be keen on Harwood-Bellis too.
Burnley would like to re-sign Harwood-Bellis having taken him on loan for their promotion-winning campaign last season.
Wolves are now in the race though and a permanent deal may not be out of the question after cashing in on Collins.
Who is Wolves target Taylor Harwood-Bellis?
Harwood-Bellis was born in Stockport just like Phil Foden, and the pair actually played in the same Junior League team in Stockport.
Foden and Harwood-Bellis have come up through the ranks together but whilst Foden is a first-team star, Harwood-Bellis has yet to really break through.
The 21-year-old centre back has now been loaned out four times since making his first-team debut in 2019.
Blackburn Rovers, Anderlecht, Stoke City and Burnley have all taken Harwood-Bellis on loan to aid his development.
Harwood-Bellis was vital in Burnley’s promotion-winning campaign and is now captaining England at the Under-21 European Championships.
Burnley boss Kompany knew all about Harwood-Bellis from the City ranks and then at Anderlecht before reuniting at Turf Moor.
It’s clear that Kompany is a huge fan of Harwood-Bellis, hailing him as a ‘leader’ and a ‘great player’ last season.
Wolves are now keen on the City talent in what could be a tricky move with so many Premier League clubs interested.
