# Aston Villa: Fans react to update on Louie Barry

**Many Aston Villa fans are reacting to the latest update on one of their young stars Louie Barry, following his recent performances for the academy.**

It looks like he is on great form for the youth side, as journalist Ashley Preece [tweeted](https://twitter.com/PreeceObserver/status/1332430671462195203?s=20): “Louie Barry with 5 goals in 6 starts now for Villa’s under-23s following tonight’s double in the 3-2 defeat to Fulham at Bodymoor Heath”

The Premier League side managed to pick up the 17 year-old from Barcelona for less than £1million in 2020 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/louie-barry/transfers/spieler/581670)). His great performances so far this campaign at such a young age should definitely see him highlighted as a player for the future by Dean Smith.

Some Villa fans believe he should be given a chance to feature in the match day squad now. His good form may not warrant that yet, however with [Keinan Davis](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/keinan-davis/profil/spieler/412660) struggling either with injuries or to compete in the Premier League, as well as Ross Barkley’s [injury](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ross-barkley/profil/spieler/131978), now could be the best time to give him a slot on the bench.

### Here is what Villa fans said following the tweet:

> Louie Barry with 5 goals in 6 starts now for Villa's under-23s following tonight's double in the 3-2 defeat to Fulham at Bodymoor Heath. The 17-year-old's really starting to warm up now after a regular run of game time. Looking razor-sharp. [#AVFC](https://twitter.com/hashtag/AVFC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)
