Newcastle United winger Harvey Barnes will not be switching allegiance to Scotland before the World Cup, head coach Steve Clarke has confirmed.

The 28-year-old, who has one England cap from a friendly against Wales in October 2020, is eligible for Scotland through his maternal grandparents.

However, Clarke revealed Barnes has turned down the opportunity to play for a place in his squad.

“It’s the perennial question, everybody keeps asking me about it,” Clarke told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“This time I can say for sure, Harvey’s going to concentrate on trying to play for England, he’s not going to come to Scotland.

“You can put that one out there. Nobody needs to ask me or Harvey about it any more.

“Am I disappointed? No, listen, Harvey can make up his own mind. We move on.”

Barnes has scored 12 goals for Newcastle this season, having moved to St James’ Park from Leicester City in the summer of 2023.
