Leicester City winger Harvey Barnes looks set to join Newcastle with the Betfair Sportsbook suspending betting on the potential move.

As mentioned in a tweet by Fabrizio Romano, Barnes is keen on a move to the Magpies while boss Eddie Howe is also a big admirer of the 25-year-old.

Newcastle are looking to build a big enough squad to be able to compete in both the Premier League and Champions League this season after they recorded a top four finish last term.

Barnes would become the Magpies' second major signing of the summer window after the arrival of midfielder Sandro Tonali from AC Milan for £55m earlier this week.

Howe's men are 14/115.00 to win the Premier League title this season, and they're 13/82.63 to record a Top 4 Finish.
