West Ham should now have a pretty decent transfer budget to work with after selling star player Declan Rice to Arsenal, so that could help them rival Newcastle for a top talent like Barnes.
The England international was one of the Foxes’ most impressive performers last season, even if he couldn’t quite do enough to help the club escape relegation to the Championship.
Now that Leicester have gone down, they’re surely going to struggle to keep hold of their best players, with James Maddison and Youri Tielemans among the names to leave for moves back to the Premier League so far this summer.
It seems Barnes to West Ham could be the next one to watch, though surely Newcastle can still tempt him with the chance to play in the Champions League.
West Ham need to step talking about bringing barnes to our club and get the deal done before Newcastle get their act together
