Another Blackburn Rovers Player Linked With Luton Town

According to the Telegraph, the Hatters are showing an interest in supposedly bringing a second Blackburn Rovers player to the club.

Hard on the heels of transfer speculation linking their goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski with a move to Kenilworth Road, our referenced source infers that the Blackburn captain, Lewis Travis, could also be joining Luton Town.

Travis, 25-years-of-age, is a midfielder who was, originally, on the books of Liverpool before moving to Ewood Park.

While at Blackburn, Travis has made over 200 appearances for the club.

Now whether, if the interest is genuine, the Hatters can persuade Travis to move south and also agree a fee with Blackburn Rovers remains to be seen.

But, with a highly competitive season ahead of us, Travis could be a welcome addition to a squad that needs bolstering for the tough campaign ahead.

As is the norm, here at Vital Luton Town, we’ll keep a watchful eye out for any further developments.

They’ve got competition for his signature though as according to a report from Alan Nixon on Patreon, another outfit who are keen on the 30-year-old are Anderlecht from Kaminski’s home nation of Belgium, who finished in mid-table of their domestic league last season.

What is Thomas Kaminski’s current Blackburn Rovers situation?

Kaminski still has a while to run on his contract at Ewood Park just yet, having penned a fresh agreement last February until the summer of 2025.

The Belgian was the undisputed first-choice of Tony Mowbray at that point, but his situation changed somewhat in the 2022-23 campaign under Jon Dahl Tomasson.

An injury saw him lose his position in the starting 11 to Aynsley Pears in February and despite working his way back to fitness, Kaminski never regained his place in Tomasson’s plans and he will seemingly go into the 2023-24 season as Blackburn’s second-choice stopper.

Should Blackburn Rovers let Thomas Kaminski go?

If Tomasson fancies Pears as his starting goalkeeper next season, then there’s no reason to keep a potentially unhappy Kaminski – who still will want to be in and around the Belgium national team squad without ever featuring – at the club.

He will be on a good wage and perhaps one of the top earners at Blackburn, but they shouldn’t sell unless they get their valuation.

Blackburn are said to want around the £6 million mark for Kaminski, and at the age of 30 now it’s perhaps fair considering goalkeepers tend to last a lot longer than outfield players.

It’s still tough to see Rovers getting that fee however, especially from a club in the Belgian Pro League like Anderlecht.
