Newcastle signed England winger Harvey Barnes from Leicester in a deal worth a reported 38 million pounds ($48 million) on Sunday.

Barnes agreed a five-year contract with the Magpies as he remains in the Premier League following Leicester's relegation to the Championship at the end of last season.

The 25-year-old is expected to fill the void in Eddie Howe's squad left by the impending departure of Allan Saint-Maximin, who is reportedly set to join Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli.

Saint-Maximin was left out of the Newcastle squad which recently travelled to the United States for the Premier League 'Summer Series'. "It's an amazing club and for me it's a massive opportunity to come and be involved in a successful team that's doing exciting things, so I'm absolutely buzzing to be here," Barnes said. "I think it's an attacker's dream to come into a team like this; it's high paced, it's physically demanding, but you can see the rewards of that with the chances and the goals scored, so I think I'll certainty suit the style." Barnes can look forward to playing in the Champions League next season after Newcastle secured a top four finish in the Premier League last term.
