DONE DEAL: Chong delighted joining 'family club' Luton

Luton Town have signed Birmingham City winger Tahith Chong.

The Holland U21 winger joins the Hatters for a mooted £4m. He had joined Birmingham a year ago from Manchester United for £1.5m.

"Tahith is someone that I, and the club, have known for a very long time," said Hatters boss Rob Edwards.

"I first crossed paths with him when I was at Wolves a few years ago and he was in Manchester United's Under-23s.

"I've liked him from then, and he was a bit more of a winger at the time. Looking at him in a lot more detail at Birmingham this year, he's been able to play inside as a midfield player as well."

Chong also said: "In the few hours that I've been here I already get the feeling that it really is a family club.

"I'm a football fan I've watched some games so I've seen how they've played and it shows togetherness and unity - and you can only have that if you're a family club.

"I think that's important because every club faces adversity - it's not always going to be good - but if you're a family club you stick through it together and it's easier as a family."
