Luton Town have made a move to try and sign Birmingham City midfielder Tahith Chong, according to Football Insider.
Chong joined Birmingham on loan in the 2021/22 season before joining the Championship club on a permanent basis last summer.
Now, 12 months later he could be possibly on his way out of the club, if the newly crowned Premier League side can meet Birmingham’s valuation.
Should Birmingham City sell Tahith Chong?
We asked some of the FLW writers for their thoughts on this news, and they discussed whether Birmingham should consider selling the midfielder.

It’s a very interesting potential move, but it’s no surprise that the Hatters are exploring the EFL market – because it may be cheaper to get additions there rather than from elsewhere.
With Chong’s contract not expiring until 2026 though, Birmingham will have the license to demand a sizeable fee for him.
The Dutchman’s versatility and ability to be a threat in front of goal could make him an asset for a Luton side who will want to add even more attacking firepower to their squad, but is it a suitable addition at this stage? And is he ready to make the step? The latter question is something that will need to be answered.
