West Brom are lucky they got to taste what Leicester and Newcastle have with attacking ace
Harvey Barnes has proven himself to be an incredible talent capable of carving Premier League defences apart when he is firing on all cylinders, with the 27-year-old even earning a solitary England cap back in 2020.
Having come up through the ranks at Leicester City, the wide man played over 150 times for the Foxes in the top flight, before departing for Newcastle United in the summer of 2023 as the former Premier League Champions dropped down into the second tier.
Ever since his early days at the King Power Stadium there was plenty of expectation on his shoulders, with loans to the EFL proving pivotal moments in his fledgling career, as he started to prove himself within the professional game.
While MK Dons and Barnsley can also pay testament to his talents while at the club, ti was his stint with West Bromwich Albion in the 18/19 season that saw him really come of age, as he made his mark in the best possible manner during his stint at The Hawthorns.

Leicester had already tied their 20-year-old star down to a new four-year contract before they sent him out to join the Baggies six seasons ago, with Albion Boss Darren Moore only too happy to take the young star under his wing.
“He is an exciting young player – one that I think our supporters will enjoy watching,” the boss said to the club’s website at the time.
