A defender with ties to Leeds United moves from Manchester City to Southampton on loan before the deadline.
Taylor Harwood-Bellis, a defender with connections to Leeds United, has signed a loan agreement with Southampton.
Before the Whites hired Joe Rodon on a temporary basis, the Manchester City prospect was one of the numerous defenders linked with a move to Elland Road.
After helping Burnley win the second division championship last season, he has now signed a season-long loan with Championship promotion contender Southampton.
He helped Burnley win the second tier title last season and has now joined Championship promotion contender Southampton on a season-long loan.
“I’m really happy to be here and can’t wait to get started,” said Harwood-Bellis. When I spoke to the manager and Jason [Wilcox, Southampton’s director of football], I believe it was immediately after that when I realised they were willing to do whatever it took to get me in the door.
“I sensed the manager’s kindness, and he made clear his goals and the club’s aspirations to me in a way that perfectly matched where I am in my career and where I want to be going ahead, and I can hopefully achieve those goals here under the management.
.”I want to win, I obviously had a taste of that this summer, but my aspiration is to become a better footballer as well, and I feel like I can do that along the way and learn different styles and different ways to play football, and I feel like the manager, the staff, and the team here can help me do that.”
Nathaniel Phillips, who had earlier in the transfer window been linked to Leeds and Liverpool, has now been loaned to Scottish powerhouse Celtic.
