Tottenham Hotspur reportedly want Leicester City ace Harvey Barnes.
According to The Guardian, Tottenham Hotspur have been watching Leicester City talent Harvey Barnes ahead of a possible move for him.
Spurs have been linked with a whole host of players ahead of the summer transfer window, when they are expected to be busy in terms of incomings.
Spurs haven’t brought in a signing since Lucas Moura on January 31st 2018, and Mauricio Pochettino will want reinforcements, potentially with one more winger coming in.
Now, The Guardian claim that Spurs have been scouting a number of players, and Leicester City talent Barnes is one such target.
Barnes, 21, has come up through the Leicester ranks having signed in 2007, and he has starred in three loan spells with Milton Keynes Dons, Barnsley and West Bromwich Albion.
After hitting nine goals and six assists in 26 Championship games for West Brom, Barnes was recalled by Leicester, and has immediately landed a regular starting spot for the Foxes.
Quick, strong and skilful, Barnes has made a real impact out wide for Leicester, with his hard work and running drawing plaudits early into his Premier League career.
Barnes looks bound for England recognition one day, and whilst he could be a superb addition for Spurs both now and for the future, it seems unlikely that Leicester would let him go easily, especially with boss Brendan Rodgers telling the Leicester Mercury that he thinks Barnes has ‘big potential’.
