West Brom are reportedly interested in signing Leicester City youngster Harvey Barnes – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter have given a thumbs up to the speculation.

The Baggies could land the left-winger on a temporary basis ahead of the new campaign, according to the Leicester Mercury in their transfer blog (12:34pm, 23 July).

Manager Darren Moore is preparing for the new campaign in the Championship after dropping down from the Premier League and has the position on a full-time basis.

The club saw wide man James McClean complete his move to Stoke City on Sunday and fresh reports now state winger Barnes could be in the frame to make the switch to the Hawthorns.

He is a product of the Leicester academy and previously impressed during loan spells with MK Dons and then Barnsley last season.

Barnes was directly involved in 10 goals during 25 games in all competitions for Barnsley and is also an England Under-20 international.
