Not for the first time since the takeover, Harvey Barnes is again being linked with a transfer to Newcastle United. The Leicester City forward is expected to follow James Maddison out of the club this summer following relegation, with the Magpies one of a host of Premier League clubs tipped to make a move.
Barnes enjoyed another impressive campaign despite the team's struggles, finishing as the club's top scorer with a return of 16 goals in all competitions. Even with two years left on his contract, Leicester will cash-in on the 25-year-old due to their pressing need to balance the books.
Sandro Tonali's arrival was preceded by talk of an imminent for Nicolo Barella, with the reports surrounding the Inter Milan star providing an ideal smokescreen as the Magpies' transfer committee moved forward with negotiations in the other half of the city.
