Louie Barry is attracting interest from Middlesbrough and Leeds United, with Aston Villa set to recall him from Stockport County.
According to Football Insider, Aston Villa are set to recall Louie Barry from his loan at Stockport County to send him to one of the interested clubs from the EFL Championships. Middlesbrough and Leeds United are keen on the 15-goal striker, and the former might be leading the chase.
Aston Villa have a talented player on their hands in Louie Barry, who has been uprooting trees in League One last season and in this campaign. His goals helped Stockport County gain promotion to League One last summer. He already has 15 goals and one assist this season, which has kept the team within the playoff spot.
In what may come as a bitter blow for Stockport County, Aston Villa are planning a fresh loan for Louie Barry, as they are set to recall the forward in January. Unai Emery does not necessarily see him for the first team picture yet, as the club is open to sending him to the Championships for the second half of the season.
Aston Villa had thought about recalling him earlier in the season but let the 21-year-old continue in his spell at Stockport. Now, with interest from the Championship sides ramping up, the Villans are eager to allow Barry the chance to play at a higher level than League One.
Leeds United and Middlesbrough keen on Louie Barry
Leeds United are interested in Barry as they seek a return to the Premier League next season. They are in a good enough position with a top notch squad for the second tier, which will cast doubts whether the 21-year-old Aston Villa prospect will get enough game time.
Aston Villa are concerned about the idea of letting Louie Barry join Leeds United in January, and Middlesbrough might have an upper hand in that regard. Emery’s side have a good relationship with Boro following their recent dealing, which saw Morgan Rogers join the Birmingham-based side.
Middlesbrough could consider themselves in the lead for the 21-year-old Aston Villa prospect, which could help them push for a playoff spot. Barry could also get far better minutes at the club compared to Leeds United, as he looks destined to play in the Championship from January.
