Chelsea have made an offer to sign Newcastle's exciting winger Harvey Barnes. That is according to the latest from Spanish outlet Fichajes, which claims that the Blues are now going head to head with Manchester United for the signature of the Newcastle star. As per the report, both Chelsea and Man United have made an offer worth 53m for the attacker. Chelsea see Barnes as the perfect long-term signing to a team full of exciting youngsters.

The 27-year-old, who is eligible to play for the Scots through his grandparents, netted twice for Eddie Howe's men at St James' Park as they edged out Pep Guardiola's side in a thrilling Saturday night victory. Will that performance have swayed any Scotland fans sitting on the fence? Or perhaps it has flipped opinions entirely? Here, BBC Scotland looks at the state of play, the mood among the Tartan Army and what Barnes could bring to Steve Clarke's team.
