Dwight Gayle joined West Bromwich Albion on loan in the summer transfer window, and so did Harvey Barnes.

Newcastle United-owned West Bromwich Albion striker Dwight Gayle has spoken highly of Leicester City-owned midfielder Harvey Barnes to The Express & Star.

Barnes moved to Championship club West Brom on a season-long loan deal from Premier League side Leicester in the summer transfer window.

Gayle also switched to the Baggies in the summer, joining from Newcastle on loan for the 2018-19 campaign.

The former Crystal Palace striker has been playing well for West Brom so far this season, and the 28-year-old is enjoying playing with 20-year-old midfielder Barnes.

Gayle told The Express & Star: “Me and Jay are getting on really well and Harvey (Barnes) behind is perfect to feed us for what we want to do.”

Stats

Gayle has started his loan spell at West Brom brilliantly, having scored three goals in four Championship starts for Darren Moore’s side already this season, according to WhoScored.

Barnes himself has been playing well, with the young midfielder scoring two goals in six league starts, according to WhoScored.

West Brom are ninth in the Championship table at the moment with 10 points from six matches, just a point behind sixth-placed Bristol City.
