Luton – Two More Possible Transfer Targets
Regular visitors to Vital Luton Town may recall that earlier this week we ran a couple of articles relating to the possibility of Luton picking up some players who are free agents.
Our two articles – luton-linked-with-3-bristol-city-players – and – luton-3-possible-striker-signings – prompted a healthy debate.
Therefore, with the weekend approaching, we thought we would delve back into the article published by Football League World and take a look at two players suggested who have not featured at all in any of our own articles relating to possible / probable signings.
The first of these is Alex Pritchard, a 28-year-old who is now a free agent after his contract at our Championship rivals, Huddersfield Town, expired.
Pritchard plays in midfield, an area of the pitch where, following several departures, Luton need to bolster.
Operating as an attacking midfielder, Pritchard made 80 league appearances for Huddersfield but only scored 3 goals, not a good return for someone described as a #10.
Previously, Pritchard has played for Tottenham, Peterborough (loan), Swindon (loan), Brentford (loan), West Bromwich Albion (loan) and Norwich City.
He has also been capped at U20 and U21 level by England.
Could Alex Pritchard be on Luton’s radar?
The second player is Matt Olusunde, a 23-year-old who operates as a right-back.
Olusunde is available after his contract ran down at Rotherham United. Last season he made 32 appearances and provided 3 assists.
Born in the USA, Olusunde has been on the books of Manchester United but never made a league appearance.
On the international stage he has represented the USA at U17, U20, U23 and as a full international.
Could Matt Olusunde be on Luton’s radar?
My view is that both could be viable propositions when it comes to Nathan Jones revamping the Hatters squad ahead of the 2021/2022 season, both are of the age where they still have plenty to give but, as is always the case, it depends on salary expectations and which other teams might pursue their signatures.
But what are your views on Alex Pritchard and Matt Olusunde, should we pursue them, or do we have better already at the club?
