Luton Town head coach Rob Edwards believes the performances of midfielder Ross Barkley have transformed his team.

The former Everton and Chelsea midfielder was a surprise signing for the minnows in the summer.

The likes of Barkley and Andros Townsend have come in to give experience to the Hatters.

Soon after a 4-3 loss to Arsenal in midweek, Edwards told reporters on Barkley: “He's been like that from day one.

“He's come into the group with real humility, brilliant professionalism. I think he's hungry to show people and Ross, I can't speak highly enough of him.

"He's allowed us to change. Football in the end is about players and the quality of your players, we can as coaches try and get the most out of them, try and build belief, confidence and organization, try and improve individuals, that's our job of course, but quality, he's just got that and he's allowed us to evolve and change."
