Luton Town are unlikely to be pursuing Leeds United’s Cody Drameh any further this summer as they seal the signing of Manchester City’s Issa Kabore.
The Whites are fighting hard to convince a number of key players that they are right to stay put this summer at Elland Road, despite the club’s relegation from the Premier League.
Loanees from last season need to be called upon this time around, picking up the pieces from the departures that have already been confirmed.
Cody Drameh to Luton?

He reveals that the Hatters are set to sign Manchester City’s 22-year-old right-back Issa Kabore, who has spent the last two seasons on loan in France, most recently with Marseille:
Having reached this agreement with Kabore, a deal to bring in Drameh looks to no longer be on the cards for Luton.
