Birmingham City boss John Eustace admits that seeing winger Tahith Chong leave the club would be disappointing.

The 23-year-old is one of many players being linked with a move to newly promoted Luton Town.

The Premier League club want to boost their squad ahead of the new season and are going after the ex-Manchester United man.

Speaking to the Birmingham Mail about that possibility Eustace said: “I'd be disappointed to lose him.

“We saw Tahith's development throughout the season.

"We spoke about all the players coming in and how it is my job to develop them and move them on.

“In the year that he's been with us you can see that his performances were getting better and better.

“He matured as a player, to lose him wouldn't be ideal, but it's part of what we do.

“We want to make players better and if we are not successful moving up the league, we want the players to have the opportunity to get into the Premier League.

"If that happens then great, but hopefully we can keep him."
