INTERVIEW: New signing Harvey Barnes on how difficult Newcastle were to play against and his excitement at being involved in the Champions League

Harvey Barnes knows what he is walking into at Newcastle - because he was part of a Leicester side running scared against them last season.

The winger remembers all too well the Boxing Day meeting at the King Power Stadium, the first game back after the World Cup break. Newcastle were 2-0 up inside seven minutes and the contest was over when they added a third on the half hour.

Barnes was blown away by the ferocity of Eddie Howe’s team that day and, as he stands here now with sweat falling from his brow following training in Atlanta, he is learning what it takes to be on the inside.
