Luton Town: Hatters set to sign former Birmingham City midfielder Olly Lee

Luton will sign free agent midfielder Olly Lee, manager John Still has revealed.

The brother of West Ham striker Elliot – who spent time on loan at Kenilworth Road last term – is likely to be their last bit of business before the transfer window shuts on September 1.

Lee, who was released by Birmingham at the end of last term, trained with Town during pre-season and made two substitute friendly appearances.

Still has previously worked with the 24-year-old before in two spells on loan at Dagenham & Redbridge and he said: “We’re probably going to bring in Olly Lee, Elliot’s brother. He’s been training with us. There’s no big investment in it, he’s without a club.

“He’s a different type of player to what we’ve got, so we’ll bring him in. He’s a passer.

“Other than that I don’t see anything else that we’d be looking to do.

“I think it’s important, when we’ve got so many new players, is to make sure they’re all bedded in. It’s difficult. You keep working with them [to find] combinations.”

Though there are no offers yet there is expected to be movement out of the club with Jake Howells and Matt Robinson just two of the players on the transfer list.

Still said: “We’re working hard, they’re working hard and hopefully their agents are working hard to find them a home. Sometimes deadline day produces lots of activity but at the moment there’s nothing to report.”

There could also be a big windfall coming Luton’s way if Brentford sell former striker Andre Gray. Reports emerged yesterday that Bristol City have had a £9million bid accepted for the man that fired 30 goals to shoot Town back to the Football League last year.

With a sell-on clause, thought to be 20 per cent, a transfer fee of that size would net the Hatters £1.8million.
