Manchester City youngster Taylor Harwood Bellis has admitted his ‘ultimate goal’ is to be a star for the club in the future.

Harwood Bellis is one of several young stars currently looking to make their way into the first team at the Etihad and follow in the footsteps of the likes of Phil Foden.

The 19-year-old is currently on loan with Anderlecht in Belgium and has been a regular for them this season under Vincent Kompany.

His ultimate aim is to make it at Manchester City, though, having already featured in the first-team squad and made his debut in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Champions League aged just 17.

That shows he’s a player that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is more than aware of, even if he has sent him out on loan this season.

That deal is presumably to get the youngster much-needed minutes and experience before bringing him back to Manchester, and Harwood Bellis clearly has plans to make his mark.

“For me, my ultimate goal is to eventually breakthrough at City, but there are different roads that lead to the top,” he told Het Laatste Nieuws.

“I see Anderlecht as an important step in my development. Look, I knew for myself quickly that a new loan move would be really necessary.

“It’s hard to get minutes when the best players in the world are in front of you.

“Hopefully, one day, I will become one of those players that young guys look up to and think, ‘I have one of the best players in the world in front of me here.’ That’s my goal.”
