JUST IN: Luton Town Linked With Move For Another Midfielder Before Transfer Window Closes

The summer transfer window will slam shut in just a matter of days now.

However, it remains to be seen as to whether the Hatters recruitment team can push one, or maybe two, more deals across the line.

Of course, once the transfer window closes, the Hatters are still able to sign any players not tied to a contract.

The last twenty-four hours have seen Luton Town, according to several sources, includng the Daily Mail, linked with the possible acquisition of the Newcastle United midfielder, Isaac Hayden.

Although Hayden still has three years of his current contract left, up at St James Park, it would appear that he is out of favour and is, currently, training away from the first team squad with the U21’s.

At 28-years-of-age, Hayden should be in the prime of his career but it doesn’t seem, despite making in excess of 150 appearances for the club, that future will be at Newcastle United.

Last season, Hayden was sent out on loan to Norwich City, could this seson see the former England U21 star plying his trade at Kenilworth Road, or are you of the belief we have adequate coverage already in that area of the pitch?

Please feel free to have your say on the above subject matter in the comment facility beneath this article.

Town CEO had ‘goosebumps’ after witnessing Luton’s fans at Stamford Bridge

Sweet wants the same atmosphere at Kenilworth Road on Friday

Proud Town chief executive Gary Sweet admitted he had ‘goosebumps’ after watching the reception that the 3,000 Luton fans gave both manager Rob Edwards and his players after the 3-0 defeat to Chelsea on Friday night.

Despite watching their team give everything only to come up second best on the evening, England international Raheem Sterling scoring twice, the visiting faithful were in superb voice throughout the 90 minutes in West London.

Then, at the full time whistle, the entire away end joined in unison as Edwards and his players came over to show their appreciation, with a truly stunning ovation for their efforts on the pitch that will live long in the memory, scenes that the manager stated afterwards he had never witnessed before.

It was the same for Sweet too, a fan himself, who was watching on in the directors box, as in a statement on the club’s official website, he now wants to see a similar kind of atmosphere when West Ham United visit Kenilworth Road in Luton’s first Premier League home game on Friday night.

He said: “On behalf of the board, my heartfelt thanks goes to every single one of those 3,054 Hatters at Stamford Bridge for their constant noise and encouragement of the team for 90-plus minutes.

“As a board made up of Luton Town supporters, it gave us goosebumps to witness such loyal backing of Rob and the team after the final whistle in what was another encouraging performance on our return to the top-flight.

“Eleven years ago, we were losing at home to AFC Telford in the National League.

“Your support never waivered then.

“Now, on the biggest stage, you are showing the world what Luton Town means to you.

“Conference champions, you’ll never sing that – also proves your sense of humour, and not only do we embrace that we also thank you for your well-mannered behaviour at the Bridge.

“We saw last season how important supporter backing helped so now it’s time to transfer the energy and decibel level from Brighton and Chelsea to a four-sided Kenilworth Road next week.”
