Luton Town are set to add two more players to their squad for the League One season, but midfielder Kasey Palmer's situation remains uncertain, manager Jack Wilshere has revealed. Jamaican Palmer finished last season on loan at Luton, where he scored eight goals in 20 appearances, before returning to Hull City, his home club. "Kasey's not here. I saw he posted something on Instagram, so I'm like everyone else, trying to find out where he is and whether he's hurt or not," Wilshere told BBC Three Counties Radio. "I made it clear and he also made it clear to us that he wants to be here, we want him. He is loved not only by the fans but also by the coaches and the players."
Last season, Luton finished seventh in League One, missing out on the chance to play in the playoffs despite a final round win against Bolton Wanderers. However, the team won the EFL Trophy. To bolster the defense for next season, Wilshere has brought in Bolton captain George Johnston, who helped his side win promotion last month. "George is a good player. We identified that he could be available depending on what Bolton decided to offer him," commented Wilshere. "I knew he had the kind of character that would fit in well here - he captained Bolton at Wembley at the end of the season so he has good experience and is someone who can help us straight away."
Johnson, 27, is the only new name at Kenilworth Road so far this transfer window, while defenders Christian Chigozie and midfielders Jordan Clark and Liam Walshrenewed their contracts with the club. Wilshere is now focusing on further reinforcements, with the lending market being an important part of his planning. "We've identified some targets that we believe we can hire early, and the sooner we do that the better, so they can get to know us and work with us," he added. "We want players who understand and play in a similar way to us, so there are some we can do earlier, but this is my first summer window and over the years I know there are always some players coming in later, whether it's a loan from Arsenal or Manchester City or whatever. They see pre-season as an opportunity to try out some of their young players in the first team and normally what happens is at the end of the window they are released for loan."
"We are close to two players and have a few meetings scheduled for next week, but this has been happening constantly throughout the summer. I have met a lot of players, some of whom have already gone to other clubs, but you need to be in those conversations if you are serious."
Luton will begin their League One campaign away from home, facing Reading on Saturday 15 August (12:30 BST).
What happens next
With Jack Wilshere looking to strengthen the squad, Palmer's situation should be monitored closely. Luton Town may need to act quickly in the transfer market to secure his signature before the summer transfer window closes. Additionally, George Johnston's arrival could indicate a broader reinforcement strategy, which could influence the decision on Palmer's future.
