Villa push to re-sign Luton attacker Barkley

Aston Villa are pushing ahead to complete the signing of Ross Barkley from Luton Town.

The all action central midfielder, who played for Villa in the past, can move for a modest fee.

Barkley put in terrific performances for Luton all season, but could not help them avoid relegation.

Recently, he has said: I want to play in the Premier League. I want to play in Europe again I feel like for the next three years maybe I'll still be in my prime years."

The Guardian states the deal is not quite a free transfer for Villa, as Barkley does still have a contract.

However, his deal with Luton does allow him to leave this summer in the event of relegation.
