Former FC Barcelona youngster Louie Barry secured a move to Premier League side Aston Villa in January, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The teenager used to play for West Bromwich Albion before making the move to Spain in July 2019, where he struggled to settle in.
The youngster has been speaking about his love for West Brom and the reason why he chose to sign for Villa. As quoted on the Express and Star, he said:
I loved West Brom as a club. I was there from the age of six to 15. I will always have a love for them and will never say a bad word against them.
I came to Aston Villa to work with Mark Harrison. I really enjoyed it at Barcelona.
I am coming back home – but I wasn’t homesick. I was born in Aston. I have supported Villa all my life. My main ambition is to be in the first team by the end of the season.

Villa secured his signature in the latest transfer window and he has a very good reputation, with a report on BBC Sport stating that the 16-year-old is known as as ‘one of the best young players in English football’.
His comments about West Brom are understandable because he was there for many years, but he decided to join Villa, which shows where his heart currently is.
Some fans feel that Barry will be making his first-team appearance soon, but we believe that it is slightly too early for him.
He’s still only 16 and to put him into such a high-pressure situation in the Premier League could prove to be too much pressure on such young shoulders.
