Newcastle United set to cash in on winger Harvey Barnes

Newcastle United have had a quiet summer transfer window due to the club's financial problems.

They were more concerned with selling players this summer in order to comply with the PSR and balance their books.

Players like Elliott Anderson and Yankubah Minteh were sold in order to comply with Premier League rules.

The Magpies wanted a new right winger and a new central defender, but they failed to strengthen both positions and that is why they are struggling to perform this season.

Eddie Howe has used Anthony Gordon, Joelinton and Harvey Barnes on the right wing as he has no faith in Miguel Almiron and Jacob Murphy.

However, none of these players have been able to cement their place in the right team, meaning the club will be on the lookout for a new player.

According to iNewsThe Toon Army is ready to allow Barnes to leave the club in order to make way for a new right winger.

The winger is a much better option to come off the bench rather than as a starter, making it easier for the club to sell him and raise funds for a new signing.

Harvey Barnes will remain on the Newcastle United bench

It is difficult for Barnes to find a place in the starting XI at St James' Park.

Newcastle's first choice left winger is Gordon and it won't be easy to beat him for a place in the lineup.

The club still hasn't put Barnes up for sale, but he is the most likely option to be sold if they want to bring in a new wideout.
