Former defender Ashley Westwood has been on trial at Kenilworth Road for the past week, and with the club close to coming out of adminstration, could be signed soon.

Westwood will be looking to impress against his old club, but there will be no opportunity for former Rushden & Diamonds winger David Bell to do likewise as he was sold to Norwich City yesterday.

Despite some late interest from Coventry City, Norwich agreed a deal for the midfielder that could eventually see Luton net around £750,000.

The Sky Blues, who had been tracking Bell since January, registered their interest once more late on, but boss Mick Harford is sure he is on his way to Carrow Road.

Harford said: "I spoke to Ray Ranson (Coventry chairman) and he asked me what was going on.

"They never came back with an improved offer. It will probably happen in the next 24 hours.

"David Bell has agreed personal terms and had his medical and is in Norwich at the moment preparing to sign.

"I think it's an opportunity for him. David stressed to me he didn't want to be at the club."

Harford also revealed that both Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur have offered to loan them players.

He said: "We are short on strikers and wide men, so we are looking to fill those areas."
