Harvey Barnes can understand why Jadon Sancho (center) has moved abroad and why Callum Hudson-Odoi looks away from Chelsea.
Harvey Barnes admits that it is difficult for young players to qualify for Premier League football and understands the lure of foreign leagues.
Jadon Sancho is known to Borussia Dortmund after leaving Manchester City in 2017, while Callum Hudson-Odoi, of Chelsea, wanted to go to Bayern Munich during the transfer in January.
Leicester midfielder, Barnes, won the first team minutes with West Brom in the Sky Bet Championship during the first half of this season, but was recalled by the Foxes in January and started against the Wolves and Manchester United in recent weeks.

Although he thinks Leicester offers a good base for young players, Barnes, 21, can sympathize with young players seeking time abroad.
Before the shock of Leicester with Tottenham on Super Sunday, Barnes said Sky Sports: "I think it can be difficult for young players.More often people do not realize the gap between football under 23 and the Premier League, one of the best leagues in the world. This is a huge step.
Barnes returned to Leicester from West Brom and took advantage of some playing time
"For me, I felt like I had gone past the under 23 football stadium and that I needed that experience on loan, so for me it was the way to This has worked so far.
"The other players will somehow progress from the U23 to the first team and go through this natural step, but it's just as difficult."
"Of course, there will be little opportunity for young players, you have to wait, because even the senior players of the Premier League are never guaranteed to play.I think for many young people players, the loans will really suit them.
"For Sancho, he has great opportunities, and you can understand why the young guys are following this route, that puts them on the field and presents them as players, that they might not be able to get out here. "
Barnes was a huge success in the championship with West Brom
At one point in the 1-0 defeat of Manchester United on Sunday, Leicester had five players under 22 on Barnes' field: Wilfred Ndidi, James Maddison, Demarai Gray and Ben Chilwell.
Barnes insists that trust in Leicester's youth under Claude Puel fills him with confidence, but says that lack of experience can lead to mistakes and that patience is the key.

"It's huge – the number of young players around 22, 21 and under is probably one of the highest in the Premier League in recent minutes, so being a young player on this team puts you at ease, knowing that the manager is afraid to get you stuck and keep you if you succeed.
"Not just us, but also guys who progress through the under 23. That can only be a good thing for the football club.

"As young players we are still learning, you have not reached the peak of your career until you are about 25 years old. You may be good enough to play in the Premier League now, but there will be mistakes.
"It's definitely a work in progress, and in the long run it can only be a good thing, so many young players are progressing in the team and building good relationships."
Leicester will play Sunday's game without a Premier League win in four games, and Barnes said seventh place was the goal of the Puel team in May.
"I do not think so [11th] It would be a bad season, but for us, we would like to aim higher than that. I think the seventh is what a lot of teams in the group are going to aim for. In the back of our head, we would like to achieve that. "
