Manager Rob Edwards says Ross Barkley's recent form has been "brilliant" for Luton Town and some of the midfielder's performances "you would pay to watch".

After struggling to hit top form during his time at Chelsea and then spending a year playing in France for Nice, Barkley has shone on his return to the Premier League with the Hatters.

Edwards was asked about the prospect of Barkley potentially adding to his 33 England caps, more than four years after his most recent international appearance.

The Luton boss said: "I've got to concentrate on the here and now with Luton and that's what Ross has got to do as well. I understand the talk because he's played so many times for his country before.

"It's been a good period but Ross will be the first to say as well that he has to keep doing it and keep that consistency in his football. And then you never know.

"We certainly love him and what's he doing for us at the moment is brilliant. The fans love him. Some of his performances you would pay to watch and that's been great because it is an entertainment business and we want to try to be entertaining while winning football matches. It is difficult all of the time, but players like Ross help."
