Hatters defender James Bree is rumoured to be interesting Town’s Championship rivals West Bromwich Albion.

The Baggies are believed to be in the market for a right back this summer in order to compete with Darnell Furlong at the Hawthorns.

Bree was one of Town’s stars of the season, playing 44 times as Luton reached the play-offs, with his set-pieces assisting a number of goals, while he also scored a brilliant free kick during the 3-1 win at Hull City too.

A report from West Midlands paper the Express & Star has intimated that Albion boss Steve Bruce is a fan of Bree, who began his career at Barnsley, before a move to Aston Villa in 2017, and has put the defender high on his list of possible additions.

Town won’t want to lose the full back though, who is believed to have a year left on his current deal, especially after already seeing first team regular Kal Naismith depart for Bristol City recently.
