Newcastle have joined the race to sign Leicester forward Harvey Barnes

Newcastle United, West Ham United, and Aston Villa are all interested in signing Harvey Barnes from Leicester City.

The 25-year-old forward had an impressive season, scoring 13 goals despite Leicester's relegation to the Championship.

Newcastle are currently in discussions with Leicester about a potential deal for Barnes, as they look to strengthen their squad after signing Sandro Tonali from AC Milan.

They are also willing to let go of Allan Saint-Maximin, who has attracted interest from Saudi Pro League clubs.

West Ham, managed by David Moyes, are also pursuing Barnes to bolster their attacking options. Moyes is open to making changes in the summer transfer window to freshen up his team.

Leicester have already lost James Maddison to Tottenham Hotspur and are expecting further departures after their relegation.

Aston Villa, under the guidance of Unai Emery, are monitoring the situation closely and is keen on securing Barnes.

They finished seventh in the Premier League last season, making a remarkable turnaround after parting ways with Steven Gerrard.

West Ham's qualification for the Europa League by winning the Conference League has added to their appeal as they can offer Barnes the chance to compete in continental football.

The negotiations between the clubs are ongoing as they aim to secure the services of the talented forward.
