Ross Barkley is in talks to join Aston Villa following his fantastic season with Luton Town.

The 30-year-old had a loan stint at Villa in 2020-21 and wants to continue his career in the Premier League after Luton’s relegation.

Villa need depth in their team after qualifying for the Champions League, and they want to add a full-back, a flexible centre-back, such as Atletico Madrid’s upcoming free agency Mario Hermoso, two midfielders, and an attacker. Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher is also of interest.

However, in order to reach financial and sustainability goals, they will have to sacrifice some members of their squad.

This season, the Englishman made 37 appearances for the Hatters in all competitions, scoring five goals in the Premier League and providing four assists.
