Newcastle close to agreeing deal for Leicester's Harvey Barnes - meaning Allan Saint-Maximin could leave

Newcastle are close to agreeing a deal for Harvey Barnes as Leicester prepare to travel to Thailand on Thursday.

Barnes is a prominent target for the Magpies and is set to be sold this summer, with the Foxes valuing the winger around the £35-40million mark. The deal could be completed in the coming days.

Leicester face Liverpool in Bangkok on July 23 before taking on Tottenham in Singapore a week later.

Barnes, 25, played no part in last weekend's friendly at Peterborough, with manager Enzo Maresca citing injury.
