Newcastle United are ready to launch their bid to sign Leicester City winger Harvey Barnes this week.
Eddie Howe’s side are expected to offer around £25million initially for the England international.
They were initially put off after the 25-year-old was given a £60m price tag, but the Magpies are now confident of securing a considerably lower fee.
Barnes was a key player for the Foxes last season and managed a career-best tally of 13 Premier League goals.
He was unable to keep Leicester in the Premier League, though, and is unlikely to stay at the Championship side as they look to cash in on their most valuable assets.
