It was claimed three months ago that the East London outfit could sign the 21-year-old Man City ace this summer.

It’s no surprise that the Hammers might want to sign Harwood-Bellis – David Moyes is in desperate need of strengthening his central defensive ranks at the London Stadium this summer.

And with Manchester City demanding just £15 million for the England under-21 starlet, signing him seems like an absolute no-brainer…

According to the Daily Mail, Moyes is keen to bring the young centre-back to the London Stadium from the Etihad this summer.

This would be a signing that would really excite the West Ham fans.

Harwood-Bellis is absolutely elite and still has at least 12-15 years left playing at the very highest level.

The centre-back spent last season on loan with Burnley and he really impressed at Turf Moor. He is very highly rated indeed at Manchester City.

However, he is out of contract at the Etihad in the summer of 2024, so Pep Guardiola might just allow the young defender to depart the club on a permanent basis this summer.

The Telegraph recently described Harwood-Bellis as an ‘elite’ young player.

In 32 Championship outings for the Clarets last season, the 21-year-old centre-back averaged 1.1 tackles, 1.8 interceptions, 3.1 clearances and 2.8 successful aerial duels per game (Who Scored).

He’s a brilliant passer of the football as well and is so comfortable in possession, as you would expect from someone who has played under Pep and Vincent Kompany. In 32 league games this season, he made 81.1 passes per match on average and recorded a completion rate of 85.3 (Who Scored).

£15 million for Taylor Harwood-Bellis would represent incredibly good value for West Ham this summer.

And Moyes should not hesitate to bring him to the London Stadium.
