Axel Tuanzebe is training with Luton Town following his release from Manchester United. The centre back is looking to earn a contract after a trial perwith the club.
The Hatters look to be set to make their eleventh signing of the window with free agent, Tuanzebe, looking likely to sign.
Reported by The Mirror, the defender has had offers from the Saudi Pro League and the Turkish Super Lig.
It appears that Kenilworth Road will be where the former Manchester United man will find home for the season.
Who is Axel Tuanzebe?
Tuanzebe has been at United for his whole career, only ever going out on loan.
His most successful time of his career was at Aston Villa where he made 39 appearances over three spells.
He was a key player for the Villains as they secured promotion through the play offs.
After their promotion, he spent the next two seasons with his boyhood club.
He became the youngest player since 1985 to captain the Red Devils in an EFL Cup win against Rochdale.
He started his first ever Champions League game in a historic 2-1 away comeback to Paris Saint Germain.
The next season he spent the first half of the campaign at Aston Villa and the second at Napoli.
He made just one appearance, then this season he spent at Stoke City.
Good performances, marred by injury. A frustrating campaign in the Potteries.
What will Axel Tuanzebe add to Luton Town?
You don’t play for Manchester United and Napoli if you haven’t got something good going on.
He is quick, clever and is built to pass out or progress the ball forward himself.
His time at Villa shows what he can be.
At the time he was being touted as one of the best centre backs in the league and fans were disappointed not to see him return.
There is clearly a player there, if he can keep fit, there could be a major bargain to be had.
He suits the three at the back that Rob Edwards wants to play. With his speed, he will be a very useful asset.
On a free transfer there is no risk to the signing, only reward.
As a squad player to begin with, come the end of the season, he could be an important player for the Hatters.
