Luton Town’s move to sign Sheffield United’s Luke Freeman on transfer deadline day fell through due to finances, Manager Nathan Jones has said.
The midfielder was in discussions with the Hatters and was keen but a move didn’t materialise and he was then confirmed as a Millwall player the following day, after being made to wait for official confirmation.
Town had seen Glen Rea depart on loan to Wigan Athletic, so there were efforts to replace him, but it just couldn’t be achieved, while rumours of a move for Tottenham’s Harvey White were wide of the mark.
Jones said: “Luke Freeman we would have liked to have done. I know Luke, I’ve played with Luke, I’ve been an admirer of Luke.
“He’s been fantastic, it’s just we couldn’t get near the finances for him, so that was that, but we probably wanted to add a left-footed midfield player to our ranks as that’s the only thing we haven’t got.
“That’s why we’ve probably been linked with Harvey White, but there was no enquiry for Harvey White, but for Luke Freeman there was because he’s different to what we have, really, really different.
“I know him, great character, he wanted to come, it’s just we couldn’t get near the finances and that’s basically all on that.”
