Hammers boss David Moyes is clearly desperate to add more pace and power to his front-line at the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.
And the Scot is seemingly now close to doing just that…
Big Harvey Barnes claim made as West Ham appear to be close to making a huge summer transfer splash
According to 90 Min, the Hammers are now in advanced talks to sign the fleet-footed left winger.
If this happens, it will be the kind of signing we need to take us to another level entirely.
He is an exceptional player and has absolutely everything that West Ham need.
Foxes of Leicester have described Barnes as ‘sensational’, and they’re spot on – he really is an elite player.
He has pace and power in abundance, and with 13 Premier League goals this season, he clearly has an eye for the back of the net as well.
Harvey Barnes has the kind of ability to take West Ham to a completely different level next season and beyond. He would certainly provide Moyes with an option that he doesn’t currently possess.
Leicester allegedly want round £40 million for his services. That would represent great value for the Hammers as far as I’m concerned.
And if West Ham manage to sign Harvey Barnes this summer, I feel like Moyes would have a much more potent attacking unit at his disposal next season.
