Harwood-Bellis Transfer News: Newcastle United want him as Fabian Schar’s replacement
Harwood-Bellis Transfer News: Eddie Howe doesn’t look content with Newcastle United’s 2022–23 season finish, wherever it may be. Despite suffering a shocking defeat at the hands of Aston Villa, the Magpies are still very much in the running to qualify for the Champions League in the next season.
If Howe’s club is going to make a serious run at the Europa League and have a respectable Premier League season in 2023–24, they’re going to need more than one good player at each position.
To that purpose, he may have already set his sights on a young player (just 21 years old) who may one day replace Fabian Schar.

It’s reasonable that Howe would be interested in the Man City player who is now on loan at Burnley, however, it’s unclear how much a deal would cost. WhoScored reports that in 28 games for the Clarets so far this season, Harwood-Bellis has a remarkable 84.8 per cent pass completion percentage, especially considering his young age.

It’s comparable to Schar’s success rate of 79% in the same number of games for Newcastle (as reported by WhoScored). Since Harwood-Bellis would be 10 years younger than Schar, and Howe seems to like coaching up young talent, he may make his St. James’ Park debut sooner rather than later if he were to be signed.
