'Central midfield is where Luton are probably looking in the market'
- Published
On the latest instalment of Luton in the Prem from BBC Three Counties Radio, Luke Ashmead and Simon Oxley discuss what the Hatters need from the January transfer window.
Oxley said: "Goalkeeper - not a problem. Centre-half you've got (Teden) Mengi, (Gabriel) Osho, (Amari'i) Bell, (Reece) Burke on the way back but not yet, and Mads Anderson of course. There is cover but on the basis that Tom Lockyer isn't going to be there for most if not all of the season, then you might be looking at something there.
"Possibly right wing-back as well because (Issa) Kabore is going to be away anyway with Afcon and, although (Alfie) Doughty and (Chiedozie) Ogbene and play there and Giles comes in on the left, it's a possible but not an imperative.
"Central midfield is where you're probably looking on the basis (Marvelous) Nakamba will be out for a couple of months and (Albert Sambi) Lokonga has been out at times. Is Ross Barkley going to be fit for the whole season? Lots of talk about Oscar Zambrado, the young midfielder from Ecuador. He's very highly regarded and they've been linked with him before.
"They are not on seven or eight points, they're on 15. On the basis that they're within touching distance, is it worth a look? Not silly money but still."
Ashmead added: "It's such a balance between giving it a go which Luton are doing anyway, but also having to prepare for two different divisions."
