There's an interview with Harvey Barnes here:

An extract:
"football is more than just a profession to Barnes, who still remains an avid Leicester fan, having grown up in the East Midlands.
“I'd be going to the games with a few of my mates [if I wasn't playing]," he nodded. “Growing up in the city, playing for them, I’ve got a real love for the club.
“I’m playing most Saturday’s now so I miss the games, but when they’re on different days, it’s good to watch. I’ll always go if I’m back in midweek."
So what was it like being at the club when they won the Premier League?
"I wasn't involved in the first team that year but you felt it all around the training ground, there was a real buzz around the place and the city as well," he said. "Everywhere you went people we're talking about. Everyone just seemed a lot happier!
"The night we won it a load of us got together and head into the city centre for a game of pool. Everyone was just going mad, nobody could believe it."
Barnes recognises the importance of normality, and still hangs around with the same school-friends he's had since he was young.
"I have mates at Leicester City and I still speak to lads from Barnsley and MK but I've got school mates who I'm really close with," he said. "I still live in Leicester and see them all the time.
"It's important to have both. It's good to have your other group of mates who are completely different to football so you can step out of it."
Over summer, Barnes watched on in hope, just like the rest of the nation, as a young England side progressed to the semi-final of the World Cup.
“When the World Cup comes around we’re all fans aren’t we?"
Knowing the likes of Harry Maguire and Jamie Vardy made it even more special for him, and with Gareth Southgate looking at younger players, it's given him something to aspire to.
“I’d like to follow that path, definitely," he said. “There’s Ben (Chilwell), James (Maddison) and Dimi (Gray) in the U21s and that’s my next aim.
“The England manager has been looking at Leicester as a club with English players who could progress and it will be great to be a part of that.
