Taylor Harwood-Bellis aims to repay Unai Emery after £30 million Villa move | OneFootball

Taylor Harwood-Bellis has set his sights on repaying Unai Emery's faith after completing a £30 million deadline-day move to Aston Villa.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, the 24-year-old centre-back became the club's 10th and final signing of the window after joining from Southampton. His arrival followed the £47 million capture of winger Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain, taking summer spending beyond £270 million.

Harwood-Bellis has been recruited to replace Ezri Konsa and is determined to prove himself in the Premier League.

He said he is ready to push on, show how he has improved and repay the trust shown by the manager and staff.

He believes Villa is the right fit at this stage, probably perfect, offering the chance to add to his game and improve while aiming to win. He has heard Emery improves players and wants to develop under him.

The arrivals of Harwood-Bellis and Mbaye completed a major rebuild that has seen several key departures. Leon Bailey, deemed surplus to requirements by Emery, could still leave in the coming days amid interest from several clubs in Saudi Arabia, where the window remains open until Sunday.
