Loads of Aston Villa fans are liking the sound of Barcelona youngster Louie Barry joining the club.
According to the Daily Mail, the Midlands outfit are in talks to sign the 16-year-old with the Spanish giants eager to sell, while journalist Neil Moxley has simply stated that it is “happening”.

It is believed Barcelona are keen to do a deal because of a money dispute they are currently having with West Brom, the team they acquired Barry from. They are said to still owe Villa’s rivals £130,000, which will easily be recovered once the La Liga champions receive the £3m they are looking for from his potential sell.
It is set to be a busy January for the Villans, who have already signed Danny Drinkwater from Chelsea. Dean Smith is currently in the market for a striker and goalkeeper following long-term injuries to Wesley and Tom Heaton.

Good. As much as we need players for the first team, the club must also work towards the future.

Nice. The last teenage Barry we signed did OK.

Very highly rated. Barca fought PSG to get him last summer. Already played for Barca’s U19s
