But he came home after becoming unsettled and went to Stoke in January.

Now new Clarets chief Kompany hopes his relationship with former club City can help get the defender.

Harwood-Bellis, 20, is also wanted by rival English clubs, with Brentford trying for him last year.

And Scottish champions Celtic, who have elite European football to offer him, are keen too.

But Harwood-Bellis has just bought a house in Cheshire.

And he may be tempted to continue his education nearby under Kompany.

The powerful and classy centre-half ultimately wants to play regularly for City.

Burnley can give him a promotion bid to play for as they look to replace James Tarkowski.
