‘Proactive’ Hatters chief has plans in place in case any of his Luton stars depart
Luton boss Rob Edwards has always had contingency plans in case any of his Hatters stars were to leave the club ahead of the transfer window closing on Friday evening.
Although Chiedozie Ogbene the Town chief had been looking to keep his squad together before the deadline passed for another crack at reaching the top flight, winger departed on Wednesday, newly-promoted Premier League outfit Ipswich Town shelling out an undisclosed fee expected to be around £8m for his services. There had also been rumours that Teden Mengi was about to exit Kenilworth Road too, with Serie A club Torino a potential destination, although that was played down by Edwards when speaking to the press this afternoon.
With plenty of interest in Luton’s players after they impressed in the top flight, asked if he was ready to act should Town end up selling any of their assets, Edwards said: “Yes of course, there’s always plans in place and we’ve had that for every eventuality and people we thought we could be tested on, so there’s lots of plans in place. We’ve tried to be proactive, as proactive as possible in our recruitment but I’ve said over the last few weeks as well, it’s been a big challenge this year.
