Hatters linked with a deadline day loan move for Premier League attacker

Luton have been linked with a late deadline day move for West Bromwich Albion attacker Kyle Edwards.

The 22-year-old came through the ranks at the Hawthorns, before spending the 2017-18 season on loan at Exeter City, where he made 28 appearances, scoring twice, including in the League Two play-off final at Wembley, losing 3-1 to Coventry City.

Edwards returned to the Midlands and made his first Baggies start against Luton in the 1-0 EFL Cup in August 2018, playing 11 times that season, scoring twice.

Last term, the attacker was involved a lot more with the first team, playing 30 times, netting twice as Albion reached the Premier League.

This term, Edwards has made five top flight appearances, but none since the 1-0 defeat by Spurs on November 8, although did feature in the FA Cup defeat to Blackpool on penalties earlier this month, with Football Insider reporting he will head to Kenilworth Road ahead of the window closing.

The club activated a one-year extension on his deal last May but a new long-term agreement is yet to be offered by new boss Sam Allardyce, meaning Edwards could leave on a free in the summer.
