Luton Town eyeing Hibernian & Aberdeen duo as Jack Wilshere seeks transfer solution | OneFootball

Luton Town are interested in Hibernian midfielder Dylan Levitt and have enquired about Aberdeen star Leighton Clarkson, formerly of Liverpool.

Luton Town have set their sights on the Scottish Premiership as the League One club battle to strengthen their midfield before the transfer window closes.

Jack Wilshere's men beat Blackpool 1-0 on Saturday thanks to Jordan Clark's goal, leaving them six points behind the play-off places with a game in hand on sixth-place Huddersfield Town.

The Hatters face a difficult fixture this upcoming weekend, as they host Bradford City, who currently occupy a top-six spot.

Meanwhile, Luton have bolstered their ranks in the winter transfer window with acquisitions such as the permanent deal for ex-Port Vale forward Devante Cole and the loan move for Manchester City youngster Emilio Lawrence.

Luton Town plot late moves for Hibernian ace Dylan Levitt and Aberdeen man Leighton Clarkson

Wilshere is hoping to make late additions to his squad that can help the Hatters make an immediate return to the Championship, having previously endured consecutive relegations from the Premier League to League One.

As reported by the Daily Record, the Kenilworth Road club are interested in Hibernian's Dylan Levitt, while they have also asked about fellow midfielder Leighton Clarkson, who plies his trade for Aberdeen.

Levitt has made 20 appearances for Hibs across all competitions this term, although he was an unused substitute in Sunday's 0-0 draw with title hopefuls Rangers.

The 25-year-old, who previously played for Charlton Athletic in League One, has endured a lack of game time in the Scottish Premiership this term, making just four starts.

Meanwhile, Clarkson has endured a similarly low number of minutes for Aberdeen this season, making just three top-flight starts for Peter Leven's men, although he has been managed for most of the season by the recently sacked Jimmy Thelin.

Dylan Levitt or Leighton Clarkson could be a strong addition for Luton Town

Clarkson and Levitt have both been used sparingly by their respective clubs in the Scottish Premiership this term, but that doesn't mean that signing one of the duo would not be a good move for Luton.

Levitt has made 13 senior appearances for Wales, while he is also a Manchester United academy graduate, having made a Europa League outing for his former club.

The 25-year-old showed how creative he can be when he notched five goals and three assists in 33 appearances for his old side, Dundee United, in the 2022/23 campaign.

Meanwhile, Clarkson enjoyed a similarly strong football education in the Liverpool academy, going on to make three senior outings for the Merseyside giants during Jurgen Klopp's managerial tenure.

The 24-year-old made seven Championship appearances while on loan with Blackburn Rovers in 2021/22, and joined Aberdeen permanently in 2023.
