Bad news for West Ham as Newcastle prepare to flog Allan Saint-Maximin to Saudi club to fund move for Harvey Barnes
With talkSPORT claiming that Saint-Maximin could be sold, the Hammers will face an uphill battle if we are to sign Barnes this summer.
Newcastle have Champions League football on offer at St James’ Park and are in a far stronger position than us financially.
Moyes desperately needs more pace and power across his forward line, and the Leicester star would be absolutely perfect for us.
Barnes is a stunning player, and was once labelled as ‘unbelievable’ by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp (Metro). Meanwhile, Total Football Analysis label him as ‘rapid’.
The Leicester star is powerful when running with the ball, has incredible pace and plays in a direct manner that we desperately need at West Ham.
He has a real end product as well, with 13 Premier League goals to his name last season for Leicester.
Leicester want around £30 million or the 25-year-old according to The Daily Mail. What an incredible deal that would be for West Ham.
However, it seems as though Newcastle may be about to break our hearts.
