Burnley to offer Taylor Harwood-Bellis Premier League lifeline to replace defender who quit in agents fee row

BURNLEY boss Scott Parker is keen to bring Taylor Harwood-Bellis back for a second spell at Turf Moor. Harwood-Bellis is keen to stay in the Premier League after Southampton's dismal relegation this season. 3 The defender helped Burnley win promotion under Vincent Kompany during a spell on loan from Manchester City in the 2022-23 season. And now the Clarets are interested in buying him — or, more likely, taking him on a loan deal with an option to buy. West Ham are also big admirers of Harwood-Bellis, 23. But they have a limited budget and would only make a move if they sell and need to fill a hole. Burnley have lost CJ Egan-Riley to Marseille for nothing at the end of his contract. The 22-year-old quit because they would not pay a huge agent's fee. Harwood-Bellis is facing a season in the Championship with Saints, so a second spell at promoted Burnley would suit him. Meanwhile, Clarets skipper Josh Brownhill is yet to commit to a new deal. And that has alerted Ipswich Town after their relegation. The 29-year-old midfielder and his adviser are looking for a big pay day. Scott Parker sheds tears in emotional celebration with family as Burnley boss retains hundred per cent promotion record Ipswich may better the money on offer at Turf Moor even if it means dropping back to the Championship. 3
