Sources: Luton Town star Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu agrees deal
Luton midfielder Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu has agreed a new deal with the club, sources have told Football Insider.
The Hatters have been in talks with Mpanzu since sealing promotion to the Premier League as they look to reward the midfielder with a new contract.
The 29-year-old has now agreed terms on a new long-term deal and is expected to put pen to paper next week.
He will become the latest Hatter to commit his future to the club.
Mpanzu has made 368 appearances for the club and Luton are now keeping him at Kenilworth Road for their first top-flight season since the 1991-92 campaign.
He operates mainly as a midfield anchorman but can also play higher up the pitch, as well as out wide.
The versatile midfielder joined Luton from West Ham in November 2013, initially on loan – before making the switch permanent in the January window.
He made one senior appearance during his time with the Hammers, playing the full 90 minutes as a centre-back in a 2-0 League Cup victory over Burnley in October 2013.
With Luton, the-London born star has gone on to gain promotion from the fifth tier of English football to the Premier League.
Mpanzu earned his first international call-up in May 2021 when he was selected for DR Congo.
He has made two appearances for his national side and is yet to add any goal contributions.
The 29-year-old will experience his first taste of top-flight football after agreeing to terms on a new deal with Luton – with the newly-promoted side travelling away to Brighton in their first-ever Premier League fixture in August.
