Harvey Barnes has outscored Raheem Sterling AND Jadon Sancho, and he could be the key to firing Leicester past Chelsea back to the top of the table tonight... and his meteoric rise has been noted ahead of Euro 2020

The date is October 19, 2019 and Leicester have just beaten Burnley 2-1 to maintain their impressive start to the season – yet manager Brendan Rodgers has a message for his wide attackers.

'Our wingers need to do more, both in terms of goals and contributions,' he said. 'You can't go through the season as a winger with one goal or two goals. There needs to be greater efficiency if we want to be at the top end of this league.'

For one player in particular, the penny dropped. When Harvey Barnes scored in an FA Cup victory over Wigan on January 4 last year, it started a run of 15 goals in 44 matches in all competitions.
