Ross Barkley plays on a rental basis this season Aston Villa. The midfielder was allowed to leave Chelsea, as competition in midfield at The Blues is fierce.
Aston Villa and Chelsea make the rental deal via Wednesday morning official channels known. Dean Smith, the Aston Villa coach, is happy with the arrival of the experienced midfielder. “Signing a player with Ross’ qualities is a real transfer coup for our club. I am sure he will excel here and improve our team,” Smith said.
Barkley made the move from Everton to Chelsea in January 2018 and has played 86 times for The Blues in all competitions to date. In this he managed to find it just eleven times. Barkley, still ‘only 26 years old’, played 33 times for England.
