Óscar Zambrano zu Luton Town?
Oct 23, 2023 - 9:55 PM hours
LUTON will have to pay £5.5million for Ecuadorian midfielder Oscar Zambrano — and LDU Quito could yet want even more.
The Hatters have had a £3.8m bid rejected already for the 19-year-old — who is their top January target. [...]
Hatters chief scout Phil Chapple went to speak to the LDU Quito player — who was in Copa Sudamerica action in Argentina — about a potential £5million swoop.
Zambrano, 19, is a defensive midfielder in the mould of Moises Caicedo, who was picked up in Ecuador by Brighton and sold to Chelsea for a Premier League record £115m.
In fact, Zambrano came through the same football academy as Caicedo and has been keen to come to Europe since a trial at Ajax a couple of years ago.
Luton want to recruit Zambrano for the survival battle and hope to sort a fee and agree personal terms as soon as possible.
Ironically, Chapple has gone on the mission with John Morling, a Luton scout who worked for Brighton and knows the type of player that is available cheap in South America.
