Harvey Barnes could leave Leicester this summer amid interest from Tottenham and Aston Villa

Harvey Barnes could follow James Maddison out the door at Leicester this summer, with a number of Premier League rivals set to follow the winger.

Barnes has scored 10 goals in 30 league appearances this season in a struggling team and is likely to bring in bids at the end of the season.

The 25-year-old was valued at £60 million when Newcastle inquired this time last year and both Tottenham and Aston Villa are said to be closely monitoring developments.

Villa will target at least one wide man over the course of the summer, while Spurs are likely to hunt homegrown players in their next recruitment.

Unlike Maddison, who has only one year left on his contract, Barnes is committed to Leicester until 2025, but meaningful talks about signing a new contract have yet to take place.

James Maddison has also been chased by Newcastle and both Manchester clubs

Even if Leicester survive, there will be a huge overhaul of the playing staff at the end of the campaign, with eight first-team teams out of contract and the chance to cash in on Barnes and Maddison.

The Spurs are also following Maddison, along with Newcastle – who offered around £35m last summer – and both Manchester clubs. Leicester are approaching the end of an era but need the likes of Barnes, Maddison and Jamie Vardy to get out of trouble in the last four games. On goal difference alone, Leicester are above the bottom three.

Ahead of Monday’s trip to Fulham, Vardy has found his form again. After a miserable season, he has scored in each of his last two games under interim boss Dean Smith and seems to be at his sharpest somewhere.

Although Vardy still has a year left on a lucrative contract, his future at Leicester was in serious doubt if Brendan Rodgers had remained in charge. But since the change in the dugout, the Foxes are once again looking at their talisman in the last four games of the season.

Smith said, “People will have seen in the last few games the hunger, the desire and the speed of work that he has shown. As he puts it, his legs are still there and his brain is still there. He scored against Leeds and Everton and he’s in a good place.

The interim manager insisted Vardy is in ‘good shape’ as he tries to keep the Foxes afloat

“He knows he will be judged on goals and he hasn’t really had time to earn those goals or chances.

“But he won a penalty against Wolves, scored against Leeds and scored and hit the crossbar against Everton. He is in form and with four games to play we need that.

“We didn’t want to regain his confidence, but we had to play more based on what we think are his strengths. He is very intelligent at making runs, but he needs the balls to get to the areas where he runs.

“If you put the ball in those areas, it will make things happen. We need to have the supply line to him and he needs to make the runs.’
