Jermaine Jenas has urged former club Newcastle United to target a January move for either Harvey Barnes or James Maddison. The ex-Magpies midfielder feels Eddie Howe needs to strengthen his attacking options and believes either one of the Leicester City duo would fit the bill.
Newcastle have spent in excess of £200 million this year, and now find themselves in an unlikely top-four spot just a year on from being considered favourites for relegation. United have lost just once so far this campaign, and talk is mounting over qualifying for Europe next term.
A near-perfect run of form in October has seemingly catapulted Newcastle into the top-four race, although Jenas feels they will 'fall short' when it comes to earning a spot in next season's Champions League. The Magpies had two bids rejected for Maddison in the summer, and the BBC Sport pundit believes a renewed approach for the playmaker or a move for his Foxes team-mate should be on the cards.
