Last season, Kompany called on his former club for help and he managed to take

Lukas Nmecha

on a temporary deal.

Nmecha made 37 league appearances over the course of his stay in Belgium through which he was able to score 18 goals.

Harwood-Bellis joined Manchester City’s academy at the age of six and has made eight appearances for the senior team so far.

On his arrival, Anderlecht sporting director

"Taylor is a young central defender who already plays with a lot of personality and maturity.

"His training at City, together with experience in the Championship, makes him a player who is good on the ball and who has a lot of aggressivity and audacity."
