Championship striker who has ambitions of playing at 2026 World Cup attracts interest from multiple clubs
Luton Town striker Bim Pepple is attracting interest from the likes of MK Dons and Scottish Premier League side St Mirren. A number of League One, League Two and Scottish sides have been alerted to the 22-year-old's availability with Luton believed to be willing to sell for around £150,000. The powerful forward, who has ambitions of playing for Canada when they host the 2026 World Cup alongside Mexico and the United States, scored five goals and notched one assist on loan at Chesterfield as they sneaked into the play-offs but lost to Walsall in the semi-finals. He returned to his parent club, relegated Luton but they are understood to have told him they are unable to guarantee a starting berth. Though born in Kettering, Pepple and his family moved to Canada when he was five and he started his career there with Calgary Foothills as a 15-year-old before having a brief spell with Getafe in Spain. He joined Luton in 2022 and has had a series of loans impressing at Southend United and Chesterfield last season. Pepple scored 11 goals in 23 appearances for Southend before adding five in his short spell at Chesterfield. He is keen to play regularly to stake his claim for a place with the Canadian national team. Pepple has expressed interest in staying at League One level or moving to Scotland but will assess all options. He said: 'I am Luton a player. I am going to get back into Luton for pre-season. Obviously, they have just come down to League One and I just played League Two last year and did pretty well. 'League One is not too far off so we will see. I will sit down with the gaffer and have a conversation with him about what is next for me. 'The biggest thing for is I want to be playing football. I want to keep developing. 'I am a Luton player, my future is in their hands, so we will see what the club has planned for me.'

Why admitting what you don't know makes you a better boss
In 1938, some of the most powerful figures in the automobile industry gathered for lunch at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Seated among the titans of industry, executives and leading suppliers, attendees eagerly awaited the keynote speaker – a man who had revolutionised the world of cars, engineering and beyond. His name was Charles F. Kettering, a prolific inventor whose work had shaped modern life in ways few could rival. By this time, Kettering had racked up over 300 patents, including lead gasoline, the electrical starter motor for cars, and advances in refrigeration and air-conditioning. He was a legend in his field and a true figure of influence. So when Kettering took the stage, the room fell silent. What came next, however, stunned the audience. Instead of delivering a speech filled with certainties and predictions about the future of the automobile industry, Kettering said something almost unthinkable for a leader of his stature: 'If we could get this idea that we know very much about anything out of our minds,' he said, 'we have a wonderful future ahead of us – in any line of business – if we will just lift the lid and say we know so little about anything.' This was blindspotting in its most powerful form – acknowledging what you don't know. It's the key to embracing intellectual honesty and allowing curiosity to guide you into uncharted territory. At a time when gasoline powered every vehicle on the road, Kettering challenged the automotive industry's brightest minds to consider a radical new idea: cars powered by the sun. 'I haven't the slightest idea how to do it,' Kettering admitted to a room filled with executives and industrialists. Loading But that didn't matter. What mattered was that he was willing to entertain the possibility. And that, he believed, was the key to unlocking innovation. Kettering's message was clear – real progress would come not from clinging to what you already know, but from opening your mind to what you don't. Fewer than 20 years later, General Motors (GM) – the very company where Kettering was once the long-time vice president of research – unveiled the world's first solar-powered vehicle. It was called the Sunmobile, a tiny 15-inch model Corvette fitted with eight solar cells on the hood. Invented by GM engineer William G. Cobb, the Sunmobile made its debut at a car convention in Chicago in 1955.
