It just goes to show how wrong the mainstream media can be when it comes to transfer speculation.
Let us take the case of Gabe Osho.
Back in June, MSN were speculating that the 22-year-old, who joined Luton back in November 2020, was set to leave Kenilworth Road.
After loan spells at Yeovil Town and Rochdale, his future was, supposedly, up in the air.
However, it was announced Friday afternoon, by the Official Site that the defender had put pen-to-paper on a new two-year deal, committing him to the club until the summer of 2023.
It is a move those who frequent Vital Luton Town wanted, as the results of a poll we held, earlier this summer, show โ should-luton-keep-gabriel-osho.
In the build up to the new season, Osho has featured in the Hatters side and has given us a glimpse of what he is capable of.
With the news being announced, social media has carried some interesting posts, particularly from Rochdale supporters, for whom he played on loan for last season:
Well deserved, top player โฝ๏ธ

While the Luton fans seem equally as pleased:
Been very impressed with what iโve seen of him in the friendlyโs ๐๐ป

But, having been given the number 32 shirt, in the squad renumbering shuffle, the supporter in the following post sums things up nicely:
Right, no loaning him out. Letโs get him involved and developing at our own club. Boy has class, nurture it. Great news!!!

Osho impressed during the friendly fixtures, now let us see what he can do playing regularly in the Championship, at 22-years-of-age, this could very much be his time and what is commonly called a breakthrough season.
