Who is Louie Barry? Barcelona's 16-year-old ‘pearl’ from West Brom

Louie Barry made the headlines when Barcelona unveiled him as the latest summer signing for their Under-19 squad on Thursday.

In a move that angered West Bromwich Albion, where he had been on the books since he was just six-years-old, the Catalan giants unveiled the 16-year-old with the blaugrana shirt and announced him as their latest addition.

The move, however, was not entirely ratified at that time, leading to reports of the Championship club being left furious with the manner in which the deal, which will only be worth £235,000 ($295,000) in compensation, was concluded.
