In a recent YouTube video with popular duo AngryGinge and Danny Aarons, Harvey Barnes sparked a lively debate by revealing who he believes is the most skilful player at the club. Although the hosts boldly ranked Anthony Gordon as their first choice, the Magpies' winger had other opinion.
Anthony Gordon's recent red card against Brighton in the FA Cup has disqualified him from the following three games, including the Carabao Cup final later this month, so timing of this revelation is interesting. Though Joelinton's expertise on the left wing also makes him a strong candidate, this ban could open the path for Barnes to enter the starting lineup.
" “No, I would say Alexander Isak for actual skills. Anthony is skillful as well but I would say Isak.” "Harvey Barnes, Newcastle Winger
This surprising choice draws attention to a player's understated technical talent. Though Isak is well-known for his precision finishing and clever link-up play, his dribbling technique has obviously made a difference to his colleagues. Harvey Barnes has seen Isak's talents up close in training and thinks the Swedish forward stands out in terms of ability.
Having scored five goals in 28 games across all competitions this season, Barnes has come under speculation regarding his future at Newcastle. Although reports indicate the 27-year-old winger may be on the move this summer, for now his priorities remain on enabling the Magpies to break their trophy drought and have an influence in the Carabao Cup final.
