Luton have signed Thomas Kaminski from Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £2.5million.
Town’s seventh signing of the summer, the Belgian will travel to Germany for the club’s final pre-season test before the Premier League season, a double-header against Bochum.
The Hatters had been linked with the 30-year-old previously as well as Manchester United’s Tom Heaton, West Bromwich Albion’s Alex Palmer and new QPR recruit Asmir Begovic.
Manager Rob Edwards said: “It’s an area which is one of, if not the, most important areas on the pitch and a lot of work has been done to get the deal, and that goalkeeper position, over the line.
“He’s a great person and he’s a really good proactive goalkeeper, which at this level you’re going to need. He’s sharp, he makes good saves and is alert in one-on-ones situations.
“Thomas not only brings us a really proactive level of goalkeeping but also he’s an international footballer with Belgium so he brings that level of experience too.”
Kaminski told the club’s website: “I’m delighted to be here and looking forward to the opportunity.
“The Premier League is the best league in the world, to play in the Premier League is a dream for every footballer and it’s unbelievable to be here.
“Knowing Luton’s story and playing against them, it’s a well organised team. You can see the togetherness on the pitch, I’ve spoke many times to Amari’i Bell who was my teammate at Blackburn and he called it home, so it gave me a great feeling about the club.”
