Luton Town have secured the signing of Millenic Alli from Exeter City for £1.5 million, ending their pursuit of Wycombe striker Richard Kone. The move offers new manager Matt Bloomfield a versatile attacking option as he looks to lift Luton from the Championship relegation zone.
Luton Town have finally secured their target in the January transfer window , agreeing to a £1.5 million deal for Exeter City attacker Millenic Alli . The move comes after Luton had been relentlessly pursuing Wycombe striker Richard Kone , making multiple bids for his signature. Despite Kone's impressive goal-scoring record of 16 goals in League One this season and prior experience working under Luton manager Matt Bloomfield , a deal could not be reached.
Kone was considered a potential upgrade to Luton's current attacking options, with Carlton Morris leading the charge for the Hatters with only seven goals in the Championship.Alli, while not boasting the same prolific goal-scoring record as Kone, has shown flashes of brilliance, netting four goals in his last three games for Exeter. His versatility, being comfortable on both the right and left wing, is seen as a valuable asset for Bloomfield as he looks to steer Luton away from the relegation zone in the Championship. This acquisition marks a crucial step for the Hatters in their bid to regain their Premier League status after a disappointing relegation last season
