Harvey Barnes was certainly a bright spark during his loan spell at Barnsley in the first half of last season, scoring five times and grabbing four assists during a temporary stint at Oakwell from Leicester City.

But it seems the 20-year-old has taken his game to a new level since returning to the Championship with West Bromwich Albion in the summer.

The Baggies are the top-scoring team in the second tier right now with 15 goals in seven games and Barnes is a huge reason for that. He might have contributed just two goals in six starts but his speed, directness and vision have been instrumental in attack.

He was arguably the star of the show during the recent 7-1 thrashing of QPR and stood out again as West Brom defeated Stoke City on Saturday. Little wonder Barnes has already won over The Hawthorns faithful.

West Brom’s official Twitter account has asked supporters to sum up Barnes’ impact in one word, and there has been no shortage of compliments for a player who has the potential to play for Leicester’s first-team in the near future.

West Brom fans should enjoy him while they can.
