Luton were linked with a move for Ben Sheaf earlier this year prior to their relegation to the Championship.
If the Hatters are going to make a serious push for promotion back to the top flight again this season, then it is a deal they should follow through with.
The Coventry City star was a standout figure in Mark Robins’ side last year, and is the exact kind of signing that could boost Edwards’ squad.
The 26-year-old is a strong all-rounder and could make up for the loss of Ross Barkley to Aston Villa.
It remains to be seen what kind of fee could tempt the Sky Blues into a sale, especially as he is such an important part of the team.
But Luton have yet to spend since going back down to the Championship, so this could be the kind of statement signing that shows their readiness to battle for a top-two spot.
It would also have the benefit of weakening a possible promotion rival, as Coventry will have their sights set on the top six themselves.
Luton Town are preparing for life back in the Championship after suffering relegation from the Premier League.
The Hatters finished 18th in the table in their sole campaign in the top flight, with Rob Edwards unable to keep the team in the division beyond one year.
He will be aiming to guide the club back to the big time at the first attempt in what should be a competitive promotion battle in 2024/25.
Luton will get their Championship return underway on 12 August with a clash against Burnley at Kenilworth Road.
But there is still some time before then for them to complete a couple of transfers to bolster their squad for that big opening fixture.
Russell Walters and Shandon Baptiste have already joined the team during the off-season, arriving as free agents from Arsenal and Brentford respectively.
Here we look at two more signings Luton should try to make before they take on the Clarets in a couple of weeks…
