# Luton Town: Target Jordan Willis seems to make decision

**With a season back in the Championship just over a month away, Luton Town are seemingly yet to click into gear when it comes to buying players.**

With [Callum McManaman from Wigan Athletic](https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/sport/football/luton-town/luton-snap-up-former-latics-and-baggies-winger-mcmanaman-1-8951697) the Hatters’ only signing this summer, the biggest story surrounding the club seems to be negotiating a deal for James Justin with Leicester City, who [the Telegraph report](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/06/25/brendan-rodgers-expected-make-first-signing-luton-defender-james/) is on the verge of joining the 2015/16 Premier League winners for a reported £6 million.

Of course, we are only in the opening stages of the transfer market, but with teams in the Championship already actively signing players, with [Stoke City signing five on one day](https://www.stokecityfc.com/news/five-check-in), Luton may face being behind other sides when it comes to summer arrivals, though that could all change very soon.

[The Coventry Telegraph report](https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/jordan-willis-coventry-city-16494126) that Coventry City defender Jordan Willis is all but certain to leave the club this summer as the 24-year-old Luton target failed to turn up for the start of pre-season training with the Sky Blues, and with other sides interested in the experienced defender, the Hatters can make a big statement by signing the centre-back.

Although Willis is just 24, the former Coventry skipper has been an established member of the League One side since the 2013/14 season, [playing over 200 games for the club](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-willis/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/207056/plus/0?saison=&verein=990&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) and helping the Sky Blues to both a [EFL Trophy in 2017](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39404886) and to promotion from League Two to the third-tier a year later, scoring in the play-off final against Exeter City in a [3-1 win](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44192549).

Jones has previously spoken to [Luton Today](https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/sport/football/luton-town/hatters-chief-confirms-his-interest-in-coventry-defender-1-8937005) about how the player caught his eye while watching the Sky Blues on TV, so capturing him while more established second-tier clubs such as Bristol City are [linked (per the Coventry Telegraph too)](https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/jordan-willis-coventry-city-transfer-16420623) would be somewhat of a coup for a newly-promoted side.

***Luton fans, would Willis be a good signing this summer? Let us know!***
