Newcastle United Transfer News: Football Insider reports that both Harvey Barnes and James Ward-Prowse are targets for Newcastle United this summer. The team is optimistic that they will be able to sign the two Premier League players. The current season has been great for the Magpies. They want to add to their roster for the next season.
Barnes’s history with Leicester City dates back to when he was a little boy. The 25-year-old has worked his way through the club’s levels and has been sent out on many loan stints to hone his skills in front of the first squad. In 2018, he was called up to play for the Foxes’ first team, and his career has only gotten better since then.
So far this season, he has played in 34 games and contributed 13 goals. The England international is a crucial cog in their first-team machine, but he may be on the move this summer if Leicester fails to keep its Premier League status.
Ward-Prowse’s predicament is analogous. The 28-year-old has worked his way through the ranks at Southampton and has become one of the team’s key players. He’s been captain of the team for quite some time. However, due to the Saints’ continued fight, even his own future is unclear.
The Saints are now last in the league, and their midfielder will try to leave the team if they are relegated from the Premier League. This season, he has played in 39 games and contributed 12 goals.

Meanwhile, Newcastle is optimistic about signing the pair this summer after showing interest in them. They are able to do so because of their financial resources. They’re trying to make the cut for the Champions League right now. And if they can finish in the top four, they’ll be an even more appealing destination for the pair.
The Magpies’ primary goal was to get a forward. Alexander Isak has been on fire recently, so the team may want to bolster their midfield and add some more offensive firepower there.
Eddie Howe has recently shown a strong desire to add veteran English players to the roster. In recent transfer windows, he has signed Kieran Tripper, Dan Burn, Nick Pope, Matt Targett, and Anthony Gordon. Howe is also certain that Barnes and Ward-Prowse will sign with the club this summer.
