Luton Town Make Bid for Forgotten Eredivisie Star

Hatters Launch Bid for Midfield Reinforcement

Luton Town have made a bid for FC Utrecht midfielder Davy van den Berg as their search for a new man in the middle stretches on over Deadline Day, according to Mike McGrath.

The Hatters have been chasing a new option in midfield for the majority of the transfer window, and their search has led them over into the Eredivisie for van den Berg, who is after more game-time having made only five Eredivisie appearances so far this term.

It is believed that the move would be a permanent one for the 25-year-old, though there are no clues as of yet in regards to interest from the player himself.

It's an ambitious move by League One Luton Town, opting to send a bid out for a player currently residing in a major European league, albeit on the fringes of the squad. However, it is a move that they have been wishing to make for the majority of the transfer window as they have been chasing midfield reinforcement.

Their hunt has seen them linked with a number of names, with Barnsley's Luca Connell also having been linked with Jack Wilshere's side today, but their attentions have been turned overseas and into the Netherlands.

Van den Berg is a new, yet familiar signing with FC Utrecht having come out of their academy in 2020. He played only once for the first team before heading on loan to Roda JC Kerkrade and then permanently leaving for PEC Zwolle. He spent three years here, and returned to Utrecht upon the expiry of his contract. He has made eight appearances this season in total, including three in the Europa League,
