It appears that Aston Villa will bring back attacker Louie Barry following his time on loan at Stockport County. This season, the 21-year-old has scored 14 goals in League One.

As League One’s leading scorer right now, Barry has drawn interest from numerous Championship clubs for a possible loan transfer in January.

In an attempt to put the young player to the test at a higher level, the Villans are apparently planning to recall him from his loan at Stockport. The most recent sources indicate that the former Barcelona player has a wide range of possible destinations.

Four new names enter battle for Barry

Barry has plenty of alternatives for where he wants to go next, as four new Championship clubs have entered the race for the Villa prospect, according to the most recent TeamTalk report.

According to reports, Derby County and Middlesbrough were both interested in loaning the 21-year-old. Now, though, it’s a six-way race as Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield United, Coventry City, and Stoke City are also vying for Barry’s services.

Villa is still in charge of making the choice; they will carefully consider their possibilities. The Premier League team will want to make sure that their talented young players get plenty of playing time. As a result, it could not be a matter of who provides the best financial offer.

Recalling the child and sending him on loan to a place where he won’t play would be futile because it would impede his growth. The correct location must be chosen because he is also accustomed to his surroundings at Stockport.

Next loan destination crucial for Barry

Throughout his career, Barry has gone on loan before. But until the winger moved to Edgeley Park last summer, none of these were successful.

He maintained his explosive play from the previous season and demonstrated that the timing was ripe to advance to the Championship. But no matter what Barry does next, the memories of past, failed loan stints will always be present in the back of his mind.

With a pivotal half-season ahead of him, the former West Brom forward hopes to establish himself at Villa Park. That is definitely a chance if he is successful at his next club. However, the 21-year-old might never succeed in the Midlands if this subsequent loan isn’t the perfect one.
