Luton Town are eyeing a potential loan deal for Galatasaray defender Victor Nelsson during the upcoming January transfer window according to A Spor.

However, Luton face a few obstacles in making the deal happen.

Manager Rob Edwards already has a full squad of 25 players and he anticipates the return of another Danish defender, Mads Andersen, from a hamstring injury by then.

Additionally, Luton are currently loaning two players from Premier League clubs, Issa Kabore (Manchester City) and Albert Sambi Lokonga (Arsenal).

Premier League side are restricted to loaning two players at once time and four in total throughout the season so Luton would need to terminate one of those loan agreements to sign Nelsson.

The 25-year-old played a key role in Galatasaray’s league title triumph last season, starting 33 of 36 matches but has seen his playing time reduced this term.

Partly because Nelsson made it clear he intends to leave, however, the Lions ended up signing Davinson Sanchez from Tottenham before they found a new club for the Denmark international.

As a result Nelsson stayed at the club but Sanchez ended up becoming first choice.

Nelsson has only made one start and has been relegated to the bench since mid-September and could end up leaving in January as both the player and Galatasaray have come to an agreement that he can leave.
