Leeds United are allegedly interested in signing Manchester City defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis on loan.
The Whites and Daniel Farke are preparing for Sunday’s Championship opener at Elland Road against Cardiff City.
A number of senior players have already left the club on loan, while Ethan Ampadu and Karl Darlow have joined from Chelsea and Newcastle United, respectively.
Additional arrivals before Sunday are regarded to be improbable, although the club is actively chasing targets, one of which is at center-back.
Harwood-Bellis has recently been linked with a move to Yorkshire, and it appears that 49ers Enterprises and interim football advisor Nick Hammond have made a first move for the kid.
In the previous 48 hours, LeedsLive released a transfer update on Harwood-Bellis and a possible move to Elland Road. They believe that the Etihad would prefer a permanent £15 million exit for the defender, with Everton and West Ham identified as potential Premier League destinations.

However, no significant progress has been achieved, and it is believed that ‘Hammond and Gary Penrice, a scout who formerly worked with Hammond at Celtic, are said to have submitted exploratory queries with the player’s representation.
It would not be surprising if City opted to offer Harwood-Bellis a new contract to ‘guard his worth in the short term and perhaps suit a loan exit with an obligation to buy at the end of it,’ according to the report.
Taylor Harwood-Bellis is a person.
