Fabrizio Romano has said that Tottenham target Harvey Barnes has now agreed to join Newcastle United, with the Magpies now said to be working on selling players to make room for the Leicester City winger.
Over the last couple of weeks, multiple outlets have named Spurs as one of the clubs eyeing a move for Barnes (The Daily Mail) but over recent days, it has been suggested that the winger is now edging close to a switch to Newcastle.

We relayed an update from The Telegraph on July 7, which stated that the 25-year-old is on the verge of completing a move to St James’ Park, with the Magpies expected to soon submit an offer for the player.
Newcastle will make a move for Barnes next week
Romano has now delivered an update on Barnes’ future, explaining that negotiations between Newcastle and Leicester for the winger are expected to continue over the coming days.
However, the journalist suggested that Eddie Howe’s men might not ‘advance’ on the deal until next week as the signing would depend on potential outgoings.
Romano added that Barnes has given the green light to complete the switch to the North East.
Newcastle are planning to advance on Harvey Barnes deal next week. Talks are already underway but negotiations will continue in the next days to get it done.

Spurs Web Opinion
It appears as if Spurs pulled out of the race for Barnes as soon as it became clear that their pursuit of Solomon was going to prove successful.
With Solomon, Son, Kulusevski, Richarlison and Gil, Tottenham are now well-stocked with wide players.
