BBC Three Counties Radio's Luke Ashmead and Simon Oxley are hoping Luton Town midfielder Ross Barkley will join Andros Townsend in committing his long-term future to the club.

The former Chelsea man has quickly become a key part of Rob Edwards' side since his arrival on a free transfer in the summer but it is unclear if he will remain at the club beyond the end of the season.

"There were no details at the time about what kind of deal he had signed," Ashmead said. "With the best will in the world Ross Barkley - the way he's played - would be unlikely to be playing Championship football [should Luton be relegated this season].

"He continues to be outstanding. He's just annoyingly good. It's like going back to the playground where there was one kid who could dribble it round everybody."

Oxley added: "It's the way he holds his balance, his shape, his awareness of where he is. He's just so good."
