Townsend tells Luton boss Edwards: I'm ready to play

Andros Townsend feels ready for his Luton Town debut.

The former Everton winger signed for the Hatters last week and scored for the U21 team on Wednesday.

Ahead of their trip to Nottingham Forest, Townsend said: “They're all big games in the Premier League away from home.

"If the manager needs me on the bench, hopefully I can come on for 15, 20 minutes and change the game, but I'm just happy to be here and happy to help, whether that be in the dressing room, on the training pitch Monday to Friday, or on Saturday from the start or from the bench.

“I feel good, I feel sharp in training, I suppose it's down to the manager if he feels I'm up to speed to go straight into the squad.

"I really hope so but that's down to me in training to show him that I'm ready.

"I'm really looking forward to Saturday and hopefully being involved again in a Premier League fixture."
