Just In: 3 Luton Town players set to leave Kenilworth Road by 11pm on Friday 30th August.

Just In: 3 Luton Town players set to leave Kenilworth Road by 11pm on Friday 30th August.

Luton Town are in fairly good position heading into the 2024/25 season.

They may have been demoted from the Premier League, but they can be proud of their recent successes, and with the Hatters able to sign several talented players last summer after their promotion, they have returned with a solid group.

Luton appear particularly dangerous in the last third and have moved to improve their midfield department, with Shandon Baptiste joining after being released by Brentford.

Baptiste appears to be a terrific addition, but they may be looking to make more additions before the summer transfer window shuts.

They also want to offload some of their present first-team players, either on permanent contracts to balance the books or on loan agreements to let some of their younger players improve.

Below, we’ve looked at five players that could leave Kenilworth Road before the end of August.

Tim Krul is now one of the club’s three senior goalkeepers.

And Rob Edwards may want three senior goalkeepers for the upcoming season, as depth could be critical for the Hatters in their likely bid to return to the top flight.

Thomas Kaminski, Krul, and James Shea are all available as choices, and you believe one of the first two will leave Kenilworth Road before the end of August.

With Kaminski allegedly garnering interest from Ipswich Town, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him leave.

However, he’s the younger, longer-term option and with Krul thought to be on Blackburn Rovers’ radar, the Dutchman could be the man to leave Bedfordshire.

Luton wouldn’t be able to secure a huge profit if they cash in on him but offloading him could lower the club’s wage bill and that may allow them to bring in some more players.

Allan Campbell.

Allan Campbell’s future with the club is now uncertain.

He may have made 42 league games during the 2022/23 season, but he did not always start under Edwards, and he only appeared once in the play-offs, as an unused substitute in the 2023 play-off final.

With this in mind, it was no surprise that he was loaned out by the Hatters to Millwall, but he didn’t get much game time with the Lions, making only 12 appearances across all competitions.

Other midfielders are likely to be ahead of him in the pecking order and with the player likely to be keen to win a decent amount of game time next term, with his willingness to secure a loan exit last summer reinforcing that, it would be a shock if he didn’t depart before the end of August.

Following two successful loan periods last season, where the player thrived at both Colchester United and Lincoln City, it might be argued that Joe Taylor deserves a chance to shine in the Hatters’ first squad during the 2024/25 campaign.

Making the seamless transition to League One after a term in League Two with Colchester, it would not be surprising if he thrives in the second division over the coming season.

However, with the likes of Elijah Adebayo, Jacob Brown, Carlton Morris and Cauley Woodrow available as alternative options, he may not win too much game time.

And with Taylor needing game time in his quest to develop, another loan exit could be sanctioned for the 21-year-old.
