Luton Town are reportedly interested in signing Lee Buchanan from Birmingham City, as the Hatters look to strengthen their squad. The 25-year-old left-back has been linked with a move to Kenilworth Road. Buchanan has endured a torrid time on the injury front over the past couple of years and hasn't played much football. He remains under contract with the Blues until June 2028, meaning he still has two more years left to run down on his deal in the Midlands.
What happened?
Birmingham City are considering a potential loan exit for Buchanan this summer before the end of the transfer window. The Blues are gearing up for another year in the Championship under the guidance of head coach Chris Davies. In this latest update regarding Buchanan's future, Darren Witcoop has claimed on X that Davies' side may let him head out the exit door on a temporary basis over the coming weeks amid attention from Reading in League One. Their third-tier rivals Luton Town are also said to be keen on a swoop.
Why it matters for Luton Town
The Hatters are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, and Buchanan could be a valuable addition to their team. With 63 goals scored and 53 conceded so far this season, Luton Town are looking to improve their defensive solidity.
What comes next?
The transfer window is still open, and Luton Town are likely to be monitoring Buchanan's situation closely. If the Hatters do make a move for the left-back, it could be a significant boost to their squad.
Luton Town are currently 7th in League One, with 68 points from 44 games, and a recent form of WDWWW. They have scored 63 goals and conceded 53 so far this season, with a +10 goal difference.
