Harvey Barnes is on loan at West Bromwich Albion from Premier League outfit Leicester City – and he is taking the Championship by storm.
West Bromwich Albion have scored more goals than any other side in the Football League so far this season, bar Peterborough United that is.
In eight Championship games, The Baggies have hit the net 20 times with Darren Moore exercising the ghost of Tony Pulis at the Hawthorns. And while the likes of Dwight Gayle and Matt Phillips have started the season in fine form, Harvey Barnes is unquestionably the man of the moment right now.
The 20-year-old arrived on loan from Leicester City in the summer. And after impressing at Barnsley last season, Barnes has taken his game to a new level entirely in the Midlands.
The highly-rated attacking midfielder has been West Brom’s creative hub since the start of the season and was the best player on the pitch once again as they dismantled a previously in-form Bristol City 4-2 at the Hawthorns on Tuesday.
Barnes set up goals for both Dwight Gayle and Jay Rodriguez, capping explosive runs with a perfectly weighted assist, before getting one himself with a wonderfully taken first-time finish caressed into the top corner.
On this form, Barnes has a big future in the Premier League with Leicester. For now, however, he continues to thrill the West Brom fans.
