The Oak Road Hatter team has identified four players that Rob Edwards and Luton could target this summer ahead of a critical season in the Championship.
Luton’s lineup might look quite different by the weekend of August 10/11th, and these players could be valuable additions.
1. Jamie:
Cameron Archer – Aston Villa
Fans have been calling for bold moves, or “aggressiveness,” in the transfer window. This means investing funds from major sales into top-tier options. If Luton loses either Morris or Adebayo for a substantial fee, finding an immediate replacement is essential. Joe Taylor has shown promise but isn’t ready for a starting role. Cameron Archer, who excelled in the Championship with Middlesbrough, is a potential target. After a less successful stint with Sheffield United, Archer, now back at Aston Villa, might be available again. His age and potential, combined with a lower price, make him an exciting prospect for Luton’s attack.
2. Finley:
Ethan Erhahon – Lincoln City
With Ross Barkley and Sambi Lokonga unlikely to stay, Luton’s midfield needs refreshing. Jordan Clark and Marvelous Nakamba, both 30, can’t play every game. Luton has a history of successful lower-division recruitment, and Lincoln City’s Ethan Erhahon fits the bill. The 23-year-old midfielder played a crucial role for Lincoln, starting 43 League One games. His experience in an attacking team and familiarity with a back three make him a suitable candidate for the Championship. Given Joe Taylor’s successful loan at Lincoln, there might be goodwill to facilitate a transfer.
3. Alex:
Ben Sheaf – Coventry City
With Ross Barkley likely leaving and Sambi Lokonga unlikely to return, Luton needs midfield reinforcements. Aiming for an automatic promotion spot requires a significant signing, and Ben Sheaf could be the ideal choice. Sheaf offers strong defensive skills and excellent ball control, along with the ability to score long-range goals. Securing his services would require a record transfer fee and competing with Premier League clubs, but he would be a valuable addition to Luton’s squad.
4. Lewis:
Freddie Potts – West Ham
Freddie Potts, brother of current Luton player Dan Potts, impressed during his loan at Wycombe Wanderers. Under contract at West Ham until 2026, a transfer fee would be needed, but his key position justifies the investment. Potts has first-team experience at West Ham, including Europa Conference League appearances. However, with West Ham’s midfield depth, a move seems possible. Luton’s current midfielders are aging, so the 20-year-old Potts, who can play centrally or in a deeper role, would bring youth and talent. His defensive stats at Wycombe highlight his potential, making him a promising addition for Luton.
