As summer turns to autumn, Manchester United's famous goalkeeper Dickie Diakia has decided to embark on a new journey, and his replacement Dean Henderson is rumored to be following in his footsteps. Surprisingly, even third-placed goalkeeper Tom Heaton has become the talk of the transfer market, with Everton and newly promoted Premier League newcomers Luton both taking a keen interest in his 37-year-old frame.
Luton have been actively expanding their squad since securing their Premier League ticket in a bid to achieve their relegation targets in the new season. Previously, they have signed Birmingham winger Chung Dahi, a 23-year-old Dutch starlet who is a product of the Manchester United youth camp. Now, Luton have set their sights on Townshend, who is also from the Manchester United youth system.
Despite United boss Tannhäuser's desire to keep the experienced veteran just in case, Townshend made just two cup appearances last season and seems to be a little disillusioned with his playing time. It cannot be ruled out that he will accept an offer from Luton with a view to getting more games.
