One to watch: West Brom’s 20-year-old midfielder Harvey Barnes
There are𒁏 high hopes for Harvey Barnes at Leicester City.
Earlier this summer, Barnes𒅌 signed a new four-year deal before being loaned out to West Bromwich Aꦓlbion for the upcoming Championship season.
He already has second-tier experience, after 🥃scorin𒐪g five goals and assisting four in 1,408 league minutes on loan for the first half of last season with Barnsley.
Play Style
Barnes🔯 has already smashed in an absolute pearler this season, highlighting the dangꦆer he presents from range.
The direct threat he poses from out wide – he likes to start wide and drift inside wh𓃲ere he is capable of shooting accurately on either foot – is an increasingly desirable trait in modern fo൲otball.
Conver𝐆sely, he is also adept at playing t♊he final ball in such situations.
Sometimes, he simply♎ just likes to take up position in the channel from the start.

Darren Moore praised Barnes upon his arrival, po💃inting towards the♑ Englishman’s X-factor.
“He is an exciting young player – one that I think our supporters will enjoy watching,” Moore .
“He’s got good experience of the Championship already and I am thrilled at the prospect of him adding his talents to our group. I couldn’t be happier that we have been able to bring him in.”
Season Ahead
Those commℱents are promising to hear as Barnes looks to get minutes under his belt in view of returning to his parent club and being integrated there.
In ♔the meantime, it will be fascinating to see if he can put together a consistent 42-game Championship seaso﷽n.
He did well for𝓡 si♌x months last season before he was recalled in January by Leicester.
West Brom will certai🌳nly be 🥃leaning on him as a key pillar in their hopes to return straight back into the Premier League.
