'An extremely complex summer window' - Bloomfield

Luton Town boss Matt Bloomfield said the summer transfer window has been a distraction at times as he looks to lay the foundations for a successful season.

Bloomfield is trying to reverse Luton's on-the-pitch fortunes following two successive relegations, and there have been a number of comings and goings - with midfielder Tahith Chong the latest to leave, for Sheffield United.

"We are a football club that is self sufficient, so we have to make sure everything is aligned," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"We've had to be open-minded and pliable throughout the summer - and it's not easy when you're trying to prepare for games as well as the transfer window.

"A lot of our boys are fully focused on the season ahead, but there's been a number of conversations in the background with players wanting to move elsewhere, and that takes up so much of your time.

"It's been an extremely complex summer window, timings, wants and wishes, and whether they are realistic or not is a different matter. There's been lots to go through and we're still working."

Luton are away to Burton Albion on Saturday.
