Vincent Kompany looking to raid old club Man City with Burnley interested in Taylor Harwood-Bellis loan transfer

MANCHESTER CITY centre-half Taylor Harwood-Bellis is wanted by Vincent Kompany at Burnley.

The England Under-21 defender had a spell under Kompany at Anderlecht last season after spending time at Blackburn.

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.

The ace is leaving Turf Moor on a free transfer when his deal expires next month.

Everton have reportedly offered Tarkowski £90,000-a-week to sign for Frank Lampard.

And Newcastle are also keen on a bargain switch.

West Ham and Aston Villa have been linked too.
