West Ham United is emerging as the leading contender in the race to secure the signature of Leicester City’s talented winger, Harvey Barnes, during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Following Leicester City’s relegation to the Championship, Barnes has become available for a significant transfer fee, attracting interest from several clubs. However, according to The Telegraph, West Ham has positioned themselves at the forefront of the pursuit for the 24-year-old.
