Luton Town were the fairytale story of the Championship last season as they clinched a place in the Premier League via the play-offs.
After falling short in the semi-finals the year before, they went one better after beating Coventry City on penalties at Wembley.
The Hatters will kick off their first Premier League campaign away to Brighton and Hove Albion and will look to reinforce their squad for the coming season.
Luton are likely to spend figures that they never could have imagined in the last decade although you suspect they will be making some sensible purchases.
The latest link to them is former Preston North End midfielder Ben Pearson. The 28-year-old is currently at fellow Premier League side Bournemouth but spent the second half of last season with Stoke City. Football Insider have reported Luton are looking to snap up the combative midfielder as he enters the last year of his contract.
He was reunited with Alex Neil for that spell ant Stoke and you would have thought the Scotsman would be keen to try and bring him back. However Pearson would be tempted at another shot in the top flight with Luton and Neil may have turned his attentions to Daniel Johnson for the time being.
Preston fans always felt he was destined to play in the Premier League and his opportunity came when Bournemouth were promoted in 2022.
Pearo was restricted to just seven appearances in the top flight with The Cherries with just three of those starts. A move to Luton would surely appeal to the former Manchester United youth player as he would be set for a lot more game time.
Pearson played 165 times for The Lilywhites and no one has really filled his boots since his departure in January 2021. Many fans would love to see him shine in the Premier League though.
