Who is Taylor Harwood-Bellis? The Celtic linked Manchester City defender who blew Raheem Sterling away

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou noted before the end of the season he expected a more sedate transfer window than the one he experienced 12 months ago.

It would be nigh on impossible to replicate the thrilling signing spree that led to the likes of Kyogo, Jota, Cameron Carter–Vickers and Joe Hart arriving at Parkhead.

The Australian's success in terms of hits in the market and results on the field ensure a full-scale rebuild isn't needed.

That doesn't mean Celtic will stop in their quest to add talent ahead of their first visit to the Champions League group stage in five years.

It will likely be a case of quality over quantity, though, and a rising Manchester City defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis has been linked with the Scottish Premiership champions.

Celtic have a track record of targeting City talent and that will likely only strengthen now Mark Lawwell is arriving from the Etihad as the Parkhead side's new recruitment chief.

Record Sport runs the rule over a player who certainly isn't short of admirers.

Harwood-Bellis is a 20-year-old defender who is highly regarded within the Manchester City set-up, as his loan history certainly backs up.

He has spent time and turned heads at Blackburn Rovers, Anderlecht and Stoke City – racking up an impressive 69 appearances over the past two campaigns.

He has been immersed in the City way since 2008 and his style of play is a mix of defensive sensibility coupled with an air of composure in possession.

Harwood-Bellis won't be rubbing his eyes if he signs, he knows all about inverted full-backs and has earned heady praise from City onlookers during his fleeting first team appearances.

The stopper has proved a standout at international level, won recognition at every level
