Dean Smith has delivered his verdict on Ross Barkley’s loan spell at Aston Villa and has confirmed there are no talks to sign the midfielder on a permanent basis from Chelsea. "He started the season like a house on fire, then, with the Covid break after his injury, he’s probably been as inconsistent as we have as a team,” said Smith. "But his future for the next two years is at Chelsea and we haven’t had any discussions about that and I think it would be wrong to do so, since it was a one-year loan." "We never really had any decision to make. He’s got two years left on his Chelsea contract, I believe. The deal was always to bring him in for the season. We wanted a high-calibre player on loan to add to our quality that we’d signed permanently."
