Luton Town fans may have to exercise patience with one of their summer signings.

The newly promoted Premier League club secured Ross Barkley as a free agent in the summer window.

The ex-Chelsea, Everton, and Aston Villa star does hope the fans can stay patient with him, as he is still easing his way to match sharpness.

After a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, Barkley stated: “Yes, because you don't feel yourself and with games and training you get your sharpness.

"I can see the frustrations from fans, but they've just got to have a little bit of patience because the quality that I'll add will come and the performances from players will come.

“I felt more like myself when I came on.

“I've had a lot of training under my belt now and some game time.

"I had a little injury, so I feel good now and I'm confident the team and I can build on it.

“I feel good, I've had a great two weeks which have been important for me.

"That was the plan really, to get a couple of minutes against Tottenham and then with these two weeks to push, I felt more like myself.

"My legs feel sharper in training, and in the game I felt like I was in cruise control when I came on, so it was good."
