The Hatters have brought in eight players as they look to build a squad capable of bettering their 12th-placed finish in the Championship last season, and according to defender James Bree, there has already been a marked improvement in quality and competition on the training pitch.
Speaking about Town’s preseason so far, he said:
“That’s been the big thing this year coming into training.
“They’ve got the deals done nice and early, the standard of training has gone up and everyone is pushing for a place.
“The competition has gone through the roof and I think that’s only put the standard and quality of training up.
“If we keep doing that and pushing each other, everyone’s going to play this year, everyone’s got a part to play and I think it’s just going to help us in the long run.
“All the signings that have come in have really impressed me.
“It’s hard sometimes in pre-season as it’s a lot of running, but we have been doing a lot of football.
“These games (friendlies) are more for fitness, quality-wise, but everyone’s come out of them really well.
“With the scorelines I think you can tell what potential the team has got this season.
“If everyone performs like they have been doing, I think we can do really well.”
But are the Hatters done, or do they have any more deals in the pipeline?
