Luton Town: Hatters braced for cash bonanza as Burnley reportedly join Hull City in Andre Gray chase

Burnley have reportedly joined Hull City in the race for former Luton Town striker Andre Gray – meaning excitement at the Hatters is building as they brace themselves for a huge cash windfall.

The forward left Kenilworth Road for Brentford last summer after scoring 30 goals in Luton’s Conference winning season but a significant sell on clause was included as part of the deal which took the 24-year-old to the Bees.

That means Luton are entitled to a proportion of any fee Brentford receive for Gray – and with a price of £9million and a sell-on percentage of 20 touted – as much as £1.8million could be winging its way to Kenilworth Road.

Hull and Burnley were both relegated from the Premier League to the Championship last season. City’s interest has been reported throughout the summer with the Clarets linked with a bid this morning.

Gray scored 18 goals for Brentford last season as the west Londoners made the Championship play-offs and he has already opened his account for this season, scoring in the Bees’ 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town on opening day on Saturday.
