 I chose a dream stage not an idol song Newcastle transfer imminent

Harvey Barnes (25), who made a deep impression at Leicester City last season, will head to Newcastle. He chose the UEFA Champions League (UCL) stage, not with his idol Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham).

Leading media such as Britain's "BBC," "Sky Sports" and "The Athletic" simultaneously reported on the 20th (Korea Standard Time) that "Newcastle is close to recruiting Harvey Barnes from Leicester City." Among them, "The Athletic" said, "Newcastle will recruit Barnes for 38 million pounds (about 62 billion won). Personal conditions are not an issue, he added.

Newcastle, who will be on the UCL stage for the first time in 21 years this season, predicted a hot summer. Eddie Howe (45, England) kept an eye on various players to form a stronger squad under the coach system. In particular, he found proven winger resources such as Barnes, Hvicha Kbaratzhelia (22, Naples), and Federico Kiesa (25, Juventus), and after reviewing various options, he finally decided to recruit Barnes.

Barnes, who has settled in the first team since 2019 through the Leicester City youth system, is a left winger with fast speed and impressive shooting skills. He scored 57 offensive points in the last four Premier League seasons, and scored 13 goals last season, his first double-digit goal in his career

Barnes, who sought a transfer last season as his team Leicester City was demoted, is expected to move to Newcastle and continue to play in the first division in the upcoming season. There were many clubs that wanted Barnes besides Newcastle at first. In particular, Tottenham, which considered recruiting second-term resources, showed interest in Barnes.

In an interview with Sky Sports in August last year, Barnes said, "Mohamed Salah (31, Liverpool) and Son Heung-min are the best players in catching the ball in a dangerous space. "I want to add a way to score like them," he said, drawing expectations from Tottenham fans by selecting Son Heung-min as a 'role model'.

However, Barnes was more attracted to Newcastle, which will advance to the UCL finals, than Tottenham, where his idol Son Heung-min is. "Barnes wants to return to the England squad," BBC said. "I also want you to test yourself on the UCL stage," Barnes said, explaining why he chose to transfer to Newcastle. Tottenham recruited Manor Solomon (23) instead of Barnes to complete the second-term reinforcement 토토인증업체

Newcastle's Alan Saint-Maximain (26), who was in charge of attacking the left side for several seasons, was close to going to Saudi Arabia. Howe plans to fill the position through Barnes. Barnes is proven in the Premier League and has homegrown requirements, so Newcastle can see significant advantages on and off the pitch
