Hatters boss Rob Edwards has hailed the ‘incredible’ support received from CEO Gary Sweet and the rest of Luton’s board in his efforts to bolster Town’s squad for the upcoming Premier League season.
Rob Edwards said: “Gary and the board have been incredible, but I think there’s a clear strategy as well. You can see that with our recruitment, we’re bringing in good people, good players, players that we feel first of all can thrive at this level now and try and keep kicking us on and keep kicking us forward. Some of them, Marv, has got Premier League experience, but we feel that they’ve performed so well in the Championship that they’re able to make that step up.”
After revealing that Luke Freeman, Admiral Muskwe, Dion Pereira and Glen Rea are likely to leave the club during the current window to free up spaces in Town’s squad, Edwards reiterated his desire to carry on adding to the six new faces he has already secured.
Rob Edwards added: “There’s a 25-man squad that you can announce. We haven’t got to fill that, I want a nice tight group to work with and a group that feel all involved and have got a chance to get those minutes. But we need competition throughout the squad in every position, so there’s a couple of areas that I still want to try and do a little bit more work in. I won’t say anything yet, but we’re working hard behind the scenes to try and do that, like everyone is. You’ll hear that up and down the country at the moment, but there will be a few more.”
