Luton Town are tracking Sunderland youth striker Trey Ogunsuyi for a possible loan move in the January transfer window. The 19-year-old Belgian youth international is also being watched by promotion rivals Bradford City and League Two side Fleetwood Town.

Alan Nixon said: "Bradford City, Luton Town and Fleetwood Town are all tracking Sunderland youth star Trey Ogunsuyi." The interest comes as Luton look to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season, currently sitting 16th in the standings with eight points from seven games. They are seven points behind leaders Bradford, making attacking reinforcements a priority. The club's current top scorer is N. Wells with four goals, a tally they will hope to supplement in the new year. Luton's immediate focus returns to league action, with a home game against 21st-placed Doncaster on Saturday, as they look to improve on their current average of 1.14 points per game.

Player profile and form

Ogunsuyi has been prolific for Sunderland's under-21 side, scoring 26 goals in 40 appearances. He netted a hat-trick in a 5-1 win over Nottingham Forest's youngsters in August. His physical profile is seen as well-suited to the professional game, though his previous loan spells yielded mixed results.

Previous loan experience

Last season, the forward had temporary moves to Falkirk and Shrewsbury Town. He struggled for consistent game time at Falkirk and was recalled by his parent club, eventually scoring two goals in 12 games for Shrewsbury. Sunderland have since instructed him to focus on their under-23 side until the winter window opens.

January outlook

A loan move in January is viewed as likely, with several clubs positioning themselves. While Bradford and Luton are targeting promotion-ready additions, Fleetwood and Scottish side Dundee could offer more guaranteed playing time. Ogunsuyi's next steps will be assessed in the coming months. Luton's interest is part of a broader strategy to bolster their squad for the second half of the campaign, with the club's next fixtures presenting a key opportunity to climb the table.
