2 in, 2 out: 4 realistic Luton Town transfer dealings we can see happening this summer

Luton Town have emerged as the perfect example of exactly how far smart recruitment can take a club, with the Hatters operating on a comparatively small budget to their Championship counterparts. 

Not only has there been a focus on recruiting the right footballers, but Nathan Jones has stressed the importance of bringing the right people into the football club too.

Sitting third in the Championship, Luton are currently battling for promotion to the Premier League, with it being difficult for the Hatters to start addressing their summer recruitment as a result.

Here, we take a look at four realistic transfer dealings we can see happening at Kenilworth Road this summer…

IN: Elliot Anderson

Nathan Jones is an admirer of Newcastle United midfielder Elliot Anderson, who is currently on loan with Bristol Rovers.

Jones admitted to Luton Today that the reason they did not bring the 19-year-old to Bedfordshire in January was that there was no option of the deal becoming permanent.

With Newcastle United looking like they could have a big summer when it comes to their recruitment, Anderson could find himself even further down the pecking order at St James’ Park, which could pave the way for the Hatters to reignite their interest.

IN: Max Johnston

Luton were credited with an interest in Motherwell defender Max Johnston in early March, as per a report from the Daily Record.

The Hatters, who are joined by Sheffield United in pursuit of the 18-year-old, is currently on loan in the Scottish Championship with Queen of the South.

Operating primarily as a right-back, Johnston has also been deployed in midfield, proving to possess excellent levels of versatility in the early stages of his career.

OUT: Elliot Thorpe (on loan)
