Luton Town have bolstered their attack with the signings of Tom Ince<\/a> and Elijah Adebayo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ince arrives on loan from Stoke City for the rest of the season while Adebayo joins on a permanent deal from Walsall for an undisclosed fee.<\/p>\n

The duo arrive to enhance a Luton attack which has struggled to score goals consistently. The deals wrap up a busy transfer window<\/a> for the Hatters.<\/p>\n

Luton Town Sign Tom Ince and Elijah Adebayo<\/h2>\n

Ince Arrives on Loan from Stoke City<\/h3>\n

Talented winger Ince has made just seven appearances for Stoke this season. His game time has been hampered by injuries and a slump in form. He joins Luton hoping to spark his season back into life.<\/p>\n

He brings plenty of Championship experience having played for the likes of Derby County, Blackpool and Nottingham Forest. However, he has endured a difficult time at Stoke and a move to Luton offers a chance for Ince to recapture his form and the football we know he can produce.<\/p>\n

Ince reunites with Luton manager \u00a0Nathan Jones who worked with the winger while he was in charge of Stoke.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the signing of Ince<\/a>, Jones said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to get Tom down here.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a player I know very well from my time at Stoke. He\u2019ll give us real quality in the final third and it just shows one, the ambition here, and two, the reputation we are starting to build, that we can attract him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a really good relationship with him when I was working with him at Stoke. He\u2019s someone I rate really highly. He\u2019s had a fantastic career, been promoted, been sold for a lot of money and played in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaking to Tom as well, he\u2019s really committed. He just wants to get back playing and he\u2019s got the hunger to really do well, so he ticks all the boxes we look for in a new signing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luton Confirm Arrival of Elijah Adebayo<\/h3>\n

Along with the signing of Ince, Luton have also captured the red-hot Elijah Adebayo. The striker is having his best-ever scoring season, notching ten league goals for Walsall in League Two.<\/p>\n

He is a big, powerful striker who brings physicality and pace to the Luton attack.<\/p>\n

Speaking about Adebayo\u2019s arrival<\/a>, Jones said: \u201cWe are delighted to get Elijah on board. He is someone who was coveted by a lot of clubs because he\u2019s one that has massive, massive potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a big physical presence, something that we haven\u2019t got, and he\u2019s someone that we\u2019ve been watching for a while.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us to get him shows that once again that we are not just content with signing players for now, but we are looking towards the future and he\u2019s one that will develop here and hopefully become a top player for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both could make their debuts against Huddersfield Town this weekend.<\/p>\n
