Aston Villa are in talks with Barcelona over a deal for talented youngster Louie Barry, according to the Daily Mail.

The 16-year-old moved to the Nou Camp during the summer. Some personnel changes at the club have seen him grow unsettled, however.

Barca still owe West Brom £130,000 from the original sale, but the youngster could now be on his way back to England.

The striker is an England youth international. He turned down PSG before signing for the Catalan giants.

He has played three times in the UEFA Youth League for Barcelona; netting in a 3-2 defeat against Slavia Prague.

Barry becomes the first English player live at the club’s famous La Masia academy and actually netted a goal on his debut for the under-19s.

The teenager would be a decent addition to the Villa youth ranks and it would be interesting to see what the future holds for the talisman.

Following this news, Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to debate the potential signing.
