Louie Barry (born 21 June 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays for Aston Villa, as a striker and winger.
Early and personal life
Barry was born in Sutton Coldfield,[2] and holds dual English-Irish nationality.[1]
Club career
Barcelona
After spending ten years with West Bromwich Albion, he signed a three-year contract with Spanish club Barcelona in July 2019.[1][3] He had previously been close to signing for French club Paris Saint-Germain.[4]
In September 2019 it was announced that West Bromwich Albion were going to report Barcelona to FIFA over the transfer, claiming that they had not received the compensation they were due.[5] Barcelona contested this, however, stating that they did not believe that his scholarship for West Brom had any international standing, and that they would wait for the verdict from FIFA. [6]
Aston Villa
In January 2020 he held talks with Aston Villa,[7] signing for them later that month for a fee of £880,000.[8] He made his debut for the club's U23 team on 23 January 2020, shortly before he was officially unveiled by the Midlands club. He came on to score the equaliser in a 2-1 win over Cardiff City.[9]
International career
Barry has represented England at under-15, under-16 and under-17 youth levels.[2][1][4] He is also eligible to represent the Republic of Ireland.[1]
