Now, Hatters boss Nathan Jones has discussed the links with the playmaker. Speaking to Luton Today, Jones confirmed the club are aware of Twine, but refused to be drawn on links with the Swindon starlet. He said:
“Of course we know of him because we have our eye on every league. We probably could tell you what certain players have for breakfast but in terms of an offer, no it is not.
“He is someone else’s player so we’ve got to be very careful about speaking about other players anyway.
“He is a young player we know a lot of him, but we have a lot of young players here and that is why we brought Kal Naismith in to supplement a lot of young players we have.
“Kal is only 28 by the way but we felt that’s what we needed. Whether it’s needed at this point, a young player, for example, is yet to be decided.”

Since returning to the County Ground, the youngster has continued to impress. Twine has laid on one assist and netted once in two games. His goal came in a win over Ipswich Town, smashing home from long range.
