Luton midfielder Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu has agreed a new deal with the Premier League new boys, TEAMtalk can reveal.
The Hatters have been in talks with Mpanzu since sealing promotion to the Premier League as they look to reward the midfielder with a new contract.
Talks have progressed well and Luton are confident that Mpanzu will follow Amari’i Bell and Luke Berry in penning fresh terms at Kenilworth Road.
History-maker Mpanzu became the first player to go from non-league to the Premier League with the same club after Luton’s play-off final win over Coventry City.
The all-action midfielder, 29, is highly-rated by the club and adored by their supportes. Indeed, he made 37 appearances last season to help Luton claim their unlikely promotion back to the top-flight of English football.
Mpanzu is Luton’s longest serving current player having made 368 appearances for the club since joining from West Ham in 2013.
News of Mpanzu’s new deal will come as a huge boost to Luton boss Rob Edwards as he looks to keep the nucleus of his squad and bring in new signings as they prepare for life in the Premier League.
