Manchester City ace target for Brentford after impressing at Blackburn Rover whilst on loan

According to The Sun’s Alan Nixon, Brentford are “on alert” as they look to swoop for Manchester City centre-half Taylor Harwood-Bellis.

The Mancher City youngster has been impressive on loan at Blackburn Rovers since joining them in January to alleviate their injury issues.

The 19-year-old is due to return to the Citizens at the end of the current Sky Bet Championship campaign.

He has made 40 appearances for the Citizens Under-23s (four goals) as well as eight appearances (one goal) for the first team.

The Sun’s Nixon says that his form for Rovers, despite his relative lack of games, has been noted by Thomas Frank’s Brentford.

Nixon adds that the Bees are “looking at him as a loan signing” but tempers that with the proviso that it hinges on them gaining promotion to the Premier League this season.

Harwood-Bellis is “desperate“, says Nixon, to play more regular football for his boyhood club, Manchester City.

A loan to a  fellow Premier League side might give the young defender the exposure that could convince City to blood him at the Etihad.
