Central defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis, 22, should strengthen Aston Villa next season. The young English player, who was playing at Southampton, was being linked to other clubs, including Benfica, but his destination now appears to be the English team.
Harwood-Bellis had an outstanding season at Southampton, a team that plays in the English Championship. His performance caught the attention of several European clubs, including Benfica, who reportedly considered signing the central defender.
However, according to available information, it will be Aston Villa that secures the player's services. The Birmingham club is investing heavily in strengthening its defensive sector for next season.
The central defender is considered one of the rising stars of English football, having already accumulated significant experience both in the Championship and in the Premier League, which makes his signing an investment with potential for appreciation.
