In this window, Louie Barry may choose from a variety of Championship clubs.
With Leeds United among the teams reportedly interested in signing him, Louie Barry’s future is expected to be decided in the coming weeks. A move to the EFL Championship is also thought to be imminent.
The 21-year-old Barry scored 15 goals in 23 League One games during his stellar first half of the 2024–25 season for Stockport County. The Aston Villa forward’s parent club recalled him due to his performance, and a move up the football ladder is now being rumored.
Numerous teams in England’s second division are vying for the chance to sign the former Barcelona player this January, making him one of the most sought-after properties outside of the Premier League right now. Despite rumors of Leeds and Sheffield United, it now appears that Barry may sign for Hull City.
In recent weeks, Barry has received a lot of praise for his performance, particularly from Don Goodman, a commentator for Sky Sports. Goodman thinks a team that dominates the ball would be the ideal fit for the gifted young player wherever the former Stockport loanee ends up, with Derby County being another potential destination.
The EFL expert advised Plejmo.com that Louie Barry should join a team that plays a possession-based game and has a similar style to Stockport County. “Derby County has been connected to him, but with all due respect to them, they wouldn’t check that box right now.
“That’s not meant to be offensive, but he would be a valuable addition to almost any team in the Championship if he could get playing time. In the end, Aston Villa must send him somewhere to play every single week, and I have no doubt that he would enjoy and flourish in a promotion charge.”
