Luton Town are unlikely to land 23-year-old winger Ross McCausland as three obstacles emerge after transfer enquiry. The Hatters are in the market for more new additions after recruiting four players this summer. However, one target LTFC are set to cross off their list is Ross McCausland. The Daily Record has revealed that the Hatters are among the clubs to have shown an interest in the Northern Irishman by making an enquiry to Rangers. However, the transfer fee involved, McCausland’s wages and his preference to move abroad mean a Kenilworth Road switch is likely off the cards. McCausland has interest from teams in Europe and over in the MLS. After spending last season on loan with Cypriot side Aris Limassol, he is eager to continue his playing career abroad.
What happened?
Luton Town have enquired about Rangers winger Ross McCausland, but the Northern Irishman is unlikely to move to Kenilworth Road. The Hatters are among the clubs to have shown an interest in the Northern Irishman by making an enquiry to Rangers.
Why it matters for Luton Town
The Hatters are in the market for more new additions after recruiting four players this summer. However, one target LTFC are set to cross off their list is Ross McCausland. The 23-year-old will be backed to kick on too. If he can settle in a permanent environment and find regular starting football, McCausland has plenty of potential tap into, hence LTFC’s interest.
What comes next?
The Hatters will move onto other targets after Ross McCausland enquiry. Luton Town do not have a natural left-sided winger as it stands, and they are clearly eager to address this in the transfer market. Shayden Morris and Gideon Kodua are able to cover there in the meantime, although both are better in other roles. It hasn’t been the busiest of transfer windows at Kenilworth Road so far. The hope will be that business can pick up over the coming weeks, with a new left winger sure to figure near the top of Town’s summer transfer priorities.
The Verdict: Should Luton Town target Emilio Lawrence return instead?
As a natural left winger is sought, many Luton Town fans are calling for the return of Emilio Lawrence. The 20-year-old was a big hit on loan from Manchester City last season, chipping in with two goals and six assists across his 21 outings for the club. Such success in League One could see Lawrence primed for a shot in the Championship. However, Jack Wilshere and LTFC will hope to make a compelling case for his return. Lawrence would be primed for a starring role at Luton Town and could really kick on if given the right platform once again. A jump to a higher league may limit his game time and impact his development, giving parent club City an important decision to make over his trajectory. After the McCausland snub, the Hatters could excite fans with a return deal for their former favourite.
