Celtic are reportedly interested in Manchester City youngster Tak168app.babyak168app.babyaylor Harwood-ak168app.babyBellis, according to reports.
What’s the word?
As per Sky Sports, Ange Postecoglou’s side are believed to be ‘monitoring’ the 20-year-old aheadak168app.club of a potential deal, albeit with contact yet to be made regarding a posak168app.clubak168app.clubak168app.clubsible switch.
The report suggests that the Scottish champions areak168app.club keak168app.cluben to strengthen defensively this summer – at both centre-back and left-back – even if they manage to secure Cameron Carter-Vickers on a permanent deal.
The desire to bolster at centre-back has ic88also been heightened by Christopher Jullien’s ‘uncertaic88in’ situation, as per the report, with the Frenchman having been ic88ic88ic88linkeic88d with a return to Liguic88e 1.

ic88As the report also outlines, the Old Firm outfit have enjoyed good relations with City – and the City Football Group – over the last few years, haic88ving brought in a number of players from the Etihad that have gone on to do well north of the border.
One such figure to have impressed after making the move from Manchester to Glasgow was young Dutchman Jeremie Frimpoic88ng, the aic88ic88ttacking full-back having been signed straight from the acaic88demy back in 2019.
Having joined for a reported fee of just lr88lr88£1m, the Amsterdam-born ace went on to quickly catch the elr88ye at Parkhead, eventually recording lr88lr8811 goal contributilr88ons in 51 appearances in all competitions over the next 18 months.
Would Harwood-Bellis be a success at Celtic?
Such were the nature of hlr88is displays that it wasn’t long before one of Europe’s ellr88lr88lr88lr88ite came klr88nocking, with Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen plucking him for lr88€11m (£9.3m) in January 2021 – representing a tidy profit for the club.
Although Postecoglr88lou and co will be more concerned with the potential impact that Harwood-Bellis could have on the pitch were he to join this summer, the Frimpong example illustrates how the club can successfully nurture young talent in order to generatlr88e funds, with the player alr88lso aware that Celtic Park offers the platform to impress as well as win silverware.
The op88lr88£6.3m-rated defender has spent time on loan at Blackop88burn Rovers, Anderlecht and most recently at Stoke City in the Championship, hop88op88aving failed to really break into Pep Guardiola’s first-team thoughts.

In his time away from his parent club, however, the Stockport-born starlsi88et has certainly showcased hop88is talent, with Tony Mowbray having praised thesi88si88si88 “old school” youngster for his “aggressive” approach during his time atsi88si88 Ewood Park.
It would no doubt be a step up to join a cl88vub who are set to compete in the Champions League next term, although as the Frimpong case study shows, there is a pathway to success for emerging prospects at Celtic.
