NEWCASTLE UNITED have agreed a £38million deal to sign Harvey Barnes from Leicester City.
The agreement comes as Allan Saint-Maximin prepares to leave St. James’ Park for a move to Saudi Arabia.
According to The Athletic, Newcastle have agreed a fee with the Foxes to sign Barnes.
The report adds that personal terms will not be an issue ahead of the deal being completed.
Barnes has been strongly linked with Newcastle throughout the summer following Leicester’s relegation from the Premier League.
He has been one of a number of players that the club had been keen to sell ahead of their return to the Championship.
James Maddison has already been sold to Tottenham Hotspur, alongside the free transfer exits of Youri Tielemans and Caglar Soyuncu.
Barnes top scored for Leicester last season, scoring 13 goals in 34 league appearances last summer.
His performances had attracted top flight interest in the 25-year-old winger this summer.
