NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Newcastle expect to finalise a £40m deal for Leicester City winger Harvey Barnes this week.
The Magpies had been behind the likes of Aston Villa and West Ham in the race to sign Barnes.
Eddie Howe’s side were focused on completing the signing of Sandro Tonali from AC Milan, which gave a window of opportunity to Villa and West Ham.
But both parties have failed to capitalise on Leicester’s desire to raise funds following their relegation to the Championship.
