As the story became public knowledge the exact nature of what was going on started to become blurred.
Social media posts and indeed posts on this site, suggested Axel was a possible Luton target and was training with the squad whilst he proved his fitness, while others were suggesting that his contract was an all but done deal.
Hopefully, today, matters will become a little clearer and we can determine, once and for all, whether Axel has a future with us or is, as the referenced article suggests, contemplating other options.
The 25-year-old defender, a free agent since leaving Old Trafford this summer, has agreed to join the Hatters.
Troubled by injuries, in recent times, Axel has been at the Football Association’s St Georges Park facility training and proving his fitness levels.

The Nigerian made his name at Millwall and made making 151 appearances in his time at the club from 2014 to 2019, finding the net 12 times alongside 15 assists. After a successful spell at Wycombe, he joined Luton.
