Forward Louie Barry has flourished on loan at Stockport County this term
Leeds United, who are pushing for promotion in the Championship, have reportedly thrown their hat into the ring to secure a loan deal for Aston Villa's young forward Louie Barry. The 21-year -old is expected to be recalled by his parent club in January after an impressive stint at newly-promoted Stockport County in League One.
His dazzling form has not gone unnoticed, with Aston Villa and several Championship clubs reportedly keen to secure his services. Villa are thought to be planning to recall Barry and loan him out to a higher division for the second half of the season. A switch to Leeds, currently second in the Championship, would offer him the chance to showcase his talents with more ball possession and in-game opportunities. However, the competition for places could be fierce, and Villa may prefer to loan him to a club where he is guaranteed more playing time to aid his development, reports Birmingham Live.
In addition to these two clubs, Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday have also been recently linked, offering more choices at both ends of the Championship. Fortunately for Villa, if they decide to recall him, they won't be lacking in interested parties for the former Barcelona youth player.
