Ex-Celtic transfer target set for permanent £3.5m move

Former Celtic transfer target Louie Barry is set for a permanent £3.5m move. 

The Athletic reports that Hull City are poised to sign the 22-year-old from Aston Villa this summer. 

The outlet claims that Villa have inserted a sizeable sell-on clause within the fee. 

Barry spent the second half of last season out on loan at the Championship club. 

Celtic had shown a strong interest in the forward during the January transfer window.

However, interest from Brendan Rodgers was dropped as he remained patient in waiting until this summer for a new striker, with Daizen Maeda firing on all cylinders following the departure of Kyogo anyway.

It's expected that Barry's permanent switch to Hull will be complete in the coming days.

The forward previously hit 15 goals in 23 appearances for League One outfit Stockport County.
