West Bromwich Albion could reportedly sign Leicester City attacker Harvey Barnes on loan.
West Bromwich Albion may reportedly sign attacker Harvey Barnes on loan this summer from Premier League side Leicester City.
According to the Leicester Mercury in their transfer blog (12:34pm, 23 July), the 20-year-old could join the Baggies on a temporary basis.
The England Under-20 international did not feature for the Foxes at the weekend in a pre-season match and a switch to The Hawthorns is now being mooted.
West Brom are preparing for life in the Championship after suffering relegation last season and the Leicester youngster is now being mentioned as a target.
Barnes spent some time in the Championship last season on loan at Barnsley, where he caught the eye and was a standout player.
The left winger made 25 appearances across all competitions for Barnsley, scoring five goals and supplying five assists in return.
He has been tipped as a rising star at the King Power Stadium, but could be offered the chance to continue his development with West Brom to help their promotion bid.
They are a winger light after the confirmed exit of James McClean to Stoke City and Barnes would be a like-for-like replacement if he came in.
