'He's got a really high ceiling'

Luton striker Elijah Adebayo has a "high ceiling" and "can go a long way" if he continues to build on a positive start to his Premier League career, says Hatters manager Rob Edwards.

The former Walsall forward, 26, had not made a top-flight appearance prior to this season and his hat-trick in Tuesday's 4-0 victory over Brighton took his tally of league goals this term to eight.

"He's become more reliable without the ball," said Edwards. "His work rate has always been great but he's seeing how important it is to press hard, press the goalkeeper, press his man. He does that tirelessly.

"He's going to be really difficult to play against. He can defend set-pieces, he's a threat in the six-yard box and he's scoring some goals.

"He's progressing really well. He's got a really high ceiling. If he stays focused and keeps working hard, he can go a long way and have a really good career."
