Luton boss Edwards: Mengi will captain this club

Mengi put in an assured display as Luton got a valuable 2-1 win to aid in their relegation fight.

Discussing his performance, Edwards said: He's 21-years-old, he's growing and growing every single game.

For him to be learning, adjusting, making mistakes but getting better in the Premier League, is really difficult for a centre back. He's a brilliant man, he's going to be a future captain, there's no doubt about that.

I thought the fact that he played through some pain and performed brilliantly just shows everything you need to know about him. Reece Burke as well as Burkey was missing the other day and had to go off at half time against Tottenham. So even the fit ones are clinging on a little bit at the moment."
