West Ham and Aston Villa are interested in Leicester's £50m-rated forward Harvey Barnes, with the England international unlikely to stay with the Foxes even if they avoid relegation

Leicester are facing a fight to keep £50million-rated Harvey Barnes this summer with West Ham among the clubs interested in the forward.

The 25-year-old is emerging as a key target for a host of clubs heading into the summer transfer window, with Aston Villa also among the teams keen on him.

Leicester are in danger of relegation heading into the final day of the season and will struggle to keep hold of Barnes, who has one England cap, if they are consigned to the Championship.

But even if they do avoid the drop, the club’s resolve to keep Barnes is likely to be tested by a number of top-flight sides.
