Former Leeds United and England midfielder Carlton Palmer admits that he'd be 'very surprised' to see Whites loanee Cody Drameh join Luton Town on a permanent deal in the summer.
The 21-year-old has played 14 matches for the Hatters in the Championship this season, and has helped them to their current position of third, just a point in front of Middlesbrough in fourth.
And while Luton boss Rob Edwards has claimed that he won't think about any signings until the end of the season, Palmer believes that if Leeds do get relegated, Drameh could easily jump ship for more playing time.

"Drameh has played regularly for Luton since his loan move in January and has impressed and excelled as a right wing-back," Palmer explained to Football League World.
"He is known as a right-back but has done very well for Luton in that position. He's a very talented young player so I can't see why Leeds would want to let him go.
"Should Leeds get relegated, you would assume he would get regular game time on his return but money talks in football so you never know, if Luton get promoted via the play-offs they might make a good offer and Leeds might accept it.
"We'll have to wait and see but I would be very surprised if Leeds were to let one of their bright, young players leave the football club permanently."
