Looking for at least one additional offensive reinforcement after the arrival of Goduine Koyalipouthe RC Lens would have considered the arrival of the young English hopeful Louie Barrycapable of playing center forward or winger.
This young 21-year-old player, under contract with Aston Villa and through the youth teams of FC Barcelona, has just seen the end of a very successful loan to Stockport in League One (3rd division) where he scored 15 goals in 23 matches including 22 as a starter in the first part of the season. The Birmingham club, which has continued to loan its player to the lower divisions since 2021 as is done a lot in England, would have received offers from Celtic Glasgow and RC Lens who would have offered 7 million euros and as much in bonuses according to the Daily Mail. Aston Villa would have rejected all advances, not being a seller this winter. The striker is for the moment intended to train with the pro group, possibly extending to perhaps live on loan again in the coming months.
