Newcastle are leading the race to sign Leicester’s Harvey Barnes, who is a target for Aston Villa, Tottenham and West Ham.
Eddie Howe wants a new left-winger and one could arrive if he sells Allan Saint-Maximin, who is the subject of interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League. Newcastle have strengthened in midfield by signing Sandro Tonali from Milan and Howe’s next priority is to bolster his attacking options. Barnes is expected to leave Leicester after their relegation.
