Newcastle sign Harvey Barnes from Leicester on five-year deal

Newcastle United have significantly strengthened their attacking options with the acquisition of Harvey Barnes from relegated Leicester City. The 25-year-old winger has inked a five-year deal with the Magpies.

Barnes’s arrival comes as Allan Saint-Maximin prepares for a move to the Saudi Pro League, making him an ideal replacement for the outgoing forward.

Speaking about his move to Eddie Howe’s side, Barnes expressed his excitement and enthusiasm to be joining the club. He described Newcastle as an amazing club and saw it as a massive opportunity to be part of a successful team with exciting prospects.

The Burnley-born winger is thrilled to be part of an attacking unit that suits his style of play, emphasizing the high-paced and physically demanding nature of Newcastle’s game, which rewards players with scoring chances and goals.

Newcastle manager, Eddie Howe, is delighted to welcome Barnes to the team, hailing the winger as an exciting talent he has admired for a long time. Howe highlighted Barnes’s strengths, including his speed, technical ability, and eye for goal from wide positions.
