Luton Town are weighing up a summer move for Leicester City midfielder Callum Wright, as per a report from Gloucestershire Live. 

It is believed that the Foxes will run the rule over the midfielder this pre-season, with several Championship and League One clubs interested in permanent and temporary moves.

A recent report from Portsmouth-based outlet The News credited Pompey with an interest in the young midfielder who spent last season on loan at Cheltenham Town. 

Netting nine times and providing a further five assists in 34 third-tier outings, Wright emerged as a regular starter at the Jonny-Rocks Stadium, missing two months in 2021 because of an ankle injury. 

The Hatters have developed somewhat of a partnership with the Foxes in recent seasons, with Leicester completing the multi-million-pound signing of James Justin from Kenilworth Road, whilst Kieran Dewsbury-Hall spent the 2020/21 season on loan with the Hatters. 

Last summer, Admiral Muskwe arrived in Bedfordshire from Leicester, with these recent dealings between the two clubs a potential boost for Luton in this scenario. 

The verdict 

Cheltenham enjoyed a strong return to the third-tier this year following their title-winning 2020/21 campaign, with Wright's ability and productivity helping to ease the transition back into League One. 

Possessing excellent technical skill, and the ability to cause chaos in the final third, the 22-year-old could be deemed as ready for the Championship next season. 

With Luton finishing inside the second-tier play-offs, and ambitions likely to remain high for the next campaign, it will be interesting to see if the Hatters are chasing a permanent deal or not. 

Nathan Jones can be reluctant to strike loan deals at Luton, although Dewsbury-Hall's temporary spell was a successful one.
