Luton Town now in advanced talks to sign £5m Wolves ace
Wolverhampton Wanderers are now in advanced talks to sell left wing back Ryan Giles to Premier League new boys Luton Town.
We have seen a number of players leave Wolves this summer as a new era begins at Molineux.
Ruben Neves, Diego Costa, Joao Moutinho, Adama Traore, Conor Coady and Nathan Collins are among those to move on this summer.
Signing will be key too but more could end up leaving yet with left wing back Giles a wanted man.
Sky Sports report that Luton Town are now in ’advanced talks’ with Wolves over a deal to sign Giles.
It’s claimed that Luton are targeting a £5million deal for Giles and appear to be moving closer to an agreement.
Luton often play with wing backs and having signed Issa Kabore for their right side, Giles is now wanted on the left.
That seems like a perfect role for the attack-minded Giles and he fits the mould Luton seem to be going for – players who could step up in the Premier League but would certainly be top Championship players if the Hatters go down.
Chiedozie Ogbene, Mads Andersen and Tahith Chong fit that bill and Giles could now join them at Kenilworth Road.
It’s time for Ryan Giles to leave Wolves permanently
Hailing from Telford, Giles has been in the Wolves ranks since the age of just eight.
Long considered to be an exciting talent, the left wing back just hasn’t been given his breakthrough at Wolves.
In fact, the 23-year-old has played just once in the Wolves first team, and that came up in an FA Cup tie back in January 2019.
Giles has become a real loan ranger, leaving Wolves on loan eight times now.
From joining AFC Telford to two spells at Coventry City and a most recent spell at Middlesbrough, Giles has gained plenty of experience out on loan.
After all of that, Giles still doesn’t seem to be in the first-team plans at Wolves and he simply must move on in order to settle down elsewhere.
A Luton move seems perfect for Giles, allowing him to test himself in the Premier League and add to the Wolves transfer kitty.
It’s a shame that Giles never really broke through at Wolves but fans would surely love to see him shine elsewhere – even if it’s with a Premier League rival.
Luton Town Winger Set For North West Return
As far as a footballer goes, being sent out on loan then watching, from afar, as your team mates achieve promotion, to the top-flight, must be a strange experience.
Let’s take the case of Carlos Mendes Gomes.
Back on 26-June-2021, Carlos signed for Luton Town, after having had an impressive season for Morecambe, once again, when it comes to a fee, we were left in the dark, with the word ‘undisclosed‘ being banded about.
The 2021/2022 season, for Carlo, wasn’t a particularly memorable one for the young winger / forward with only 9 league starts coming his way.
Last summer, Nathan Jones, still at the managerial helm, decided that Carlos might be better served if he were sent out on loan, with Fleetwood Town being the chosen destination.
Carlo would have seen the opportunity as one whereby he could get regular first team football and hopfully impress those he’d left behind at Kenilworth Road.
While at Fleetwood Town, Carlos made 32 legue appearances, scoring on 7 occasions.
But any hopes he had of returning to Kenilworth Road, to continue his career in the top-flight, look to have been dashed, with transfer speculation linking the player with a move to the League One side, Bolton Wanderers.
Indeed, according to Burnden Aces, the deal is close to going through with a fee, circa £300,000 changing hands.
It just goes to show the highs and lows of the professional game with others signed the same summer as Carlos getting ready for Premier League football and Carlos set to play two rungs further down the ladder!
