Ashley Young Set To Make Premier League Return As Everton And Luton Town Battle For Signature
The Premier League is set to welcome back Ashley Young as Everton and newly promoted Luton Town battle for the signature of the free agent. Young, 38, left Aston Villa this summer when his contract expired and BBC Sport reports that there is interest from Saudi Arabia for the ex-England player.
Young is no stranger to the Premier League, having won the title and FA Cup with Manchester United, as well as the Serie A title with Inter Milan. Everton narrowly escaped relegation last season and are yet to make a summer signing. On Monday, Sean Dyche’s Toffees travelled to Switzerland for a five-day training camp in the Alps where they will face second division side Stade Nyonnais on Friday.
Luton, who are set to embark on their first season in the Premier League, have brought in winger Chiedozie Ogbene from Rotherham and Barnsley defender Mads Andersen. The Hatters will be hoping to add the experience of Young to their squad as they look to make an impact in the top flight.
Everton In Pole Position To Sign Ashley Young
Everton are in pole position to sign Ashley Young, with the club having already made contact with the player’s representatives. The Toffees are keen to add some experience to their squad and Young’s vast experience at the highest level makes him an attractive option.
Young has been a regular starter for Aston Villa over the past few seasons and his versatility would be a welcome addition to Everton’s squad. He can play at full-back or in midfield and his experience could prove invaluable for the Toffees.
Luton Town Looking To Make Statement With Ashley Young Signing
Luton Town are also looking to make a statement with the signing of Ashley Young. The Hatters have already made two signings this summer, but they are keen to add some experience to their squad as they look to survive their first season in the Premier League.
Young’s vast experience at the highest level could prove invaluable for Luton and his presence in the dressing room could help the club’s younger players adjust to life in the top flight. The Hatters will be hoping that Young can help them make an impact in their debut season in the Premier League.
Conclusion
