Aston Villa have confirmed they've completed the signing of young England forward Louie Barry from Barcelona.
Academy manager Mark Harrison told Villa TV: "It [Barry's signing] sends a powerful message about the ambition of this football club.
“We’re delighted - Louie is a local person and his family are all Villa fans, as is Louie.
"He is still a very young man but as he’s developed, he’s always been one player that you always recognise as having outstanding attributes. He’s got a fantastic mentality, he’s desperate to do well for this football club.
"He’s really driven, he’s got great family support, but in terms of what he can achieve, we firmly believe that he can be an outstanding number nine for this football club."
