Luton Town plot Nottingham Forest transfer after Premier League promotion

Luton Town have reportedly identified Nottingham Forest striker Andre Ayew as a summer transfer target following their promotion to the Premier League.

The Hatters returned to the top flight after a 31-year absence yesterday by beating Coventry City on penalties at Wembley in a dramatic Championship playoff final.

And according to sportsworldghana, Luton's recruitment team have wasted no time in setting their sights on Ayew as one of their first signings.

Luton are said to want Premier League experience in order to help prevent a quick return to the Championship and will be the bookies' favourites for the drop given their lack of financial muscle.

Earlier in the weeks, sportsworldghana reported that Forest are not expected to retain the services of 31-year-old Ayew which would make him a free agent.

It is said that Ayew is in no rush to make a decision on Luton should they make him an offer, preferring to assess his options before committing.

Ayew has made 12 appearances for Forest since January but only one of those has been a start and he is yet to score for the Reds after joining on a free transfer from Al Sadd who are a club side in Qatar.

Forest are likely to assess their striking options in the summer and the retained list will be announced in the coming weeks.
