Hull City leads Cardiff and Leeds in the race for costly Luton star after difficult season…
Giles is a former England Under-20 international who began his career at Wolverhampton Wanderers and worked his way up through the ranks. In July, the left-back, who is also capable of playing as a left midfielder, left Wolves on a permanent basis after spending many loan periods away from Molineux. Luton was the club that made the offer to acquire his services.
When Luton paid Wolves a reputed sum of £5 million to acquire his services in preparation for their very first Premier League season, he earned the distinction of becoming Luton’s record signing.
After having established himself as a reliable performer in the Championship with teams such as Middlesbrough, Cardiff, and Blackburn Rovers, Giles had high hopes of making a significant contribution to the Hatters of the Championship.
However, according to Rob Edwards, the 23-year-old has been in and out of the lineup due to the good form of fellow left midfielder Alfie Doughty. This has prevented the 23-year-old from taking his place in the lineup.
Out of the eleven Premier League appearances that Giles has made this season, he has only made five starts. The two other starts that he has made have been in the League Cup.

As a result of Giles’ very difficult predicament, a number of clubs are considering making a January move to acquire his services. The news that Cardiff are seeking to get back together with the player was disclosed by TEAMtalk on Tuesday. The player was on loan to Cardiff from July 2021 to January 2022 with the club.
But the next day it emerged that Leeds will provide Erol Bulut’s side with competition for Giles’ services.

However, Leeds and Cardiff, as well as a number of other Championship suitors, are now in significant risk of missing out on the wide man. Sources have verified to TEAMtalk that Hull are in the front of the queue to sign him up.
Hull consider Giles as a significant winter addition to their squad as they look to sustain their drive for promotion from the second division. The Tigers presently reside in seventh placed, just one point behind the play-off places.
Luton are reluctant to let Giles leave since Edwards does not want to weaken his squad amid the struggle against relegation. Although, his departure could free up space and money for fresh acquisitions for the Hatters.
