Barkley: Why it's all come together for me at Luton

Luton Town star Ross Barkley has outlined the reasons for his remarkable improvement.

The attacking midfielder has been at his very best this season for the newly promoted club.

The 30-year-old was a free agent signing in the summer, and believes the fact he is enjoying his football is the reason for his success.

He stated, per Luton Today: “I've always had the belief that if I'm afforded time to find my rhythm, play game after game I'll find my best. Like most players, when you're stop-start as a player, it's really hard to be at your best.

"You've got to perform in training and get your chance, but for me I'm just made up to be on the pitch again as I've had a few years when I've been in and out and not been able to find consistent minutes and performances. I'm just enjoying my football and I'm in a great place now.

“It's great to score goals and great to assist goals, great to just get on the ball and try and make things happen. It was a brilliant game for the fans, I'm sure at times both benches were probably nervous as we went up by two goals and then they got two goals, but we're all positive as we just want the next game to come around.

“We could have done better with some of the goals, but a good game to be a part of and a lot of positives to take."
