Luton Town may’renew interest’ in a Blackburn player. Kaminski

 

Premier League Luton Town could reignite their interest in Rovers goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski ahead of the new season.

This summer, the Hatters have been linked with a number of shot stoppers, including Kaminski, who has been with Rovers since 2020.

Rob Edwards’ side, who overcame Coventry on penalties in last season’s play-off final at Wembley, is in need of goalkeeping reinforcements as they prepare for life in the top division.

Luton Town are said to have made approaches for the Belgian earlier this summer, but they fell short of his valuation.

Rob Edwards’ side, which defeated Coventry on penalties in the play-off final at Wembley last season, is in need of goalkeeping reinforcements as they prepare for life in the top flight.

Luton Town reportedly made offers for the Belgian earlier this summer, but they fell short of his asking price.

Kaminski has proven to be a consistent performer across his 118 appearances since joining from KAA Gent in the summer of 2020 for a fee around £450,000.

That has ensured the Belgian has been around the national squad ever since his move to Ewood Park.

However, he found himself out of the side during the final stages of last season as Jon Dahl Tomasson stuck with Aynsley Pears following the March international break.

Pears initially came into the side while Kaminski was sidelined by a knee injury, which kept him out of action for a couple of months.

The 25-year-old was then rewarded for his displays with a new four-year contract, which raised questions about Kaminski’s long-term future.

Rovers have previously stressed they are in no rush to lose Kaminski and want to have two goalkeepers competing for the No.1 spot.

Meanwhile, former Rovers head of recruitment Luke Dowling is set to take up a similar role at Sheffield Wednesday following their promotion from League One.

Dowling has also previously worked at Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Watford among others. His most recent role was at West Brom, overseeing the Baggies’ football department.

Wednesday boss Xisco Munoz confirmed the news and believes the addition will have a positive impact at Hillsborough.

He told The Yorkshire Post: “As I said in my first press conference, the market is not easy. You have a lot of things and different situations.

“But I’m very happy with the club because they are giving me more support with Luke.

“I think everybody knows about Luke and his experience of the Championship. I think he’s a very good addition for us.”

Munoz took charge at Wednesday earlier this summer, succeeding ex-Rovers coach Darren Moore in the hot seat.

Tomasson’s men make the trip to Hillsborough on Saturday, December 2 with the reverse fixture at Ewood Park currently scheduled for Saturday, April 20.
