Forget about Griezmann and Neymar! FC Barcelona are recruiting Louie Barry, 16, "one of the best young English players"

Barcelona is currently doing business for players like Antoine Griezmann and Neymar, but the Spanish champions have added another striker to their ranks today – and he is coming from Birmingham.

The Catalan giants have announced that Louie Barry has signed an agreement with the club and would enter the Juvenil A club layout for young people.

Barry, 16, born in Birmingham, makes the leap from West Brom to Camp Nou after being with the Baggies since the age of six.

The under-16 England striker reportedly refused a professional contract with West Brom, while PSG also offered Barry a contract.

However, Barcelona won Barry's signature race, which they describe as "one of the best young players in English football".

After pbading his medical examination, Barry signed a three-year contract. He is now hoping to progress in the ranks – even if Neymar and Griezmann are likely to wait if he manages to join the first team.
