Harvey Barnes, what a finisher.
If the ball falls to a Newcastle United player in the penalty area, who do you want that player to be?
Surely only one answer to that.
Harvey Barnes is such a natural finisher, one of the very best.
News now that the winger has signed a new extended Newcastle United contract.
The former Leicester star is now 28 and had two years remaining on his five year NUFC deal, the club not specifying exactly how many years his new ‘long-term’ contract covers.
Harvey Barnes had 22 direct goal contributions for Newcastle United across the 2025/26 season in all competitions, scoring 16 goals and registering six assists.
Should we be surprised though?

From the start of the 2019/20 Premier League season onwards, the first four for Leicester and then three (so far) for NUFC.
My only surprise is how surprised so many people are, at just how good and productive Harvey Barnes has been across so many seasons.
