Tonali should slot straight into Newcastle’s midfield and could allow Bruno Guimaraes to play further forward.

Howe will be well aware that he needs more reinforcements going into🤡 next season.

Newcastle have identified Harvey Barnes as a potent🃏ial target an🌄d Romano believes negotiations are now advancing.

The England international✅ was one of the few bright lig🦹hts in a Leicester team that were relegated last season.

Newcastle might be hoping their relega🍌tion will give them the chance to sign him for more than his val▨uation.

Romano provides Barnes to Newcastle update

Takingไ to Twitter, : “Negotiations are underway for Harvey Barnes to New🎶castle. Discussions are ongoing, as

@TeleFootball called — player keen on the moꦿve, Eddie Howe wants Barnes.

“Not done d🅠eal ye♕t as clubs still have to clarify some details, but well advanced.”

The fact that Howe is such a big fan of Barnes will be a real pos🎀itive for Newcastle.

Barnes i꧙s a left-winger who is capable of both sticking to the touchline and cutt𓆉ing inside.

He’s also known for arriving late in the box to lat𒅌ch onto chances created centrally or on the opposite ꧅wing.

If Barnes does arrive, it ꧑suggests Howe may revert to pl🐼aying Alexander Isak as a centre-forward.

It’s also potentially a bad sign for Allan Saint-Maximin who could leave this summer.

Newcastle fans will be gꦜl🃏ad that Romano has reported that Barnes wants to join the club.

It’s ea꧙sy to see why as the Champions League is a ꦉlot more appealing than the Championship.
