West Ham reportedly want to sign Manchester City defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis this summer.
Manchester City youngster Taylor Harwood-Bellis, 21, is on the radar of West Ham United according to a report from 90min.

Central defence will undoubtedly be an area at the London Stadium where David Moyes needs to strengthen in the summer transfer window.
Angelo Ogbonna will soon be 35 whilst Craig Dawson was allowed to leave in January. Meanwhile, Kurt Zouma’s persistent injury problems are becoming a real concern.
And it seems as though Moyes has a very exciting young player indeed on his radar…
Taylor Harwood-Bellis wanted by West Ham
90min claim that the 21-year-old Man City ace is attracting attention from the Hammers ahead of the summer transfer window.
The centre-back, who is currently on loan with Burnley, 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 at the end of this season.
The Telegraph describe Harwood-Bellis as an ‘elite’ young player.
He has been superb for Burnley during his loan spell at Turf Moor this season.
In 27 Championship outings for the Clarets this season, the 21-year-old centre-back has averaged one tackle, 1.9 interceptions, 3.3 clearances and 3.1 successful aerial duels per game (Who Scored).
He’s an unbelievable passer of there football as well and is so comfortable in possession, as you would expect from a Pep and Vincent Kompany student. In 27 league games this season, he has made 82.9 passes per match on average and has recorded a completion rate of 84.7 (Who Scored).
Harwood-Bellis would be an exceptional addition for West Ham this summer in my opinion. Whether we are able to beat off competition from the likes of Newcastle United for his signature remains to be seen though.
