Charlton Athletic, Nathan Jones eyeing Luton Town transfer raid | OneFootball

Fresh reports suggest that Charlton Athletic are interested in signing Luton Town's Belgium international goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski.

Having gained promotion back to the Championship, Charlton Athletic are seeking to improve their squad and the Addicks have now been linked with an ambitious swoop for Luton Town goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski.

Following their play-off final defeat of fellow Londoners Leyton Orient at Wembley Stadium, there were reports that Cardiff City were interested in pinching manager Nathan Jones from Charlton.

However, the former Luton Town and Southampton boss instead signed a new five-year deal at The Valley, and the south Londoners will be seeking to build a competitive side for the second-tier next season.

There will be a bit of work to do on the squad, but Jones has shown he is more than capable of getting teams to punch above their weight, and Charlton are expected to be busy during this summer’s transfer window.

Charlton Athletic eyeing Luton Town's Thomas Kaminski

According to Rich Cawley of South London Sport, Charlton are interested in signing 32-year-old Kaminski from Luton, who have gone in the opposite direction and were just relegated to League One at the end of last season.

The report suggests that the Hatters are open to a deal for Kaminski, who moved to Kenilworth Road from Blackburn Rovers in the summer of 2023 and played every minute of their 2023/24 Premier League campaign under the management of Rob Edwards.

Kaminski, who made his debut for Belgium last year, is likely to want to play at the highest level possible to enhance his chances of being in Rudi Garcia’s squad at the 2026 FIFA World Cup next summer.

Cawley goes on to suggest that whilst Charlton already have two first-team goalkeepers in Will Mannion and Ashley Maynard-Brewer, they are keen on strengthening that department and South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition have been told that Kaminski fits the bill.

Charlton and Luton have swapped leagues over the summer, with Charlton winning promotion at Wembley a few weeks after Luton had their back-to-back relegations from the Premier League confirmed due to a 5-2 loss at The Hawthorns against West Bromwich Albion.

As Charlton plan for a season back in the second-tier, the Addicks have been able to bring in the impressive Sonny Carey, on a free transfer from Blackpool. They did, though, lose key man Thierry Small to Preston North End, with Small’s contract at The Valley ending this summer.

In contrast, Luton have made a couple of impressive additions to their squad in the form of Kal Naismith and George Saville from Bristol City and Millwall respectively.

However, Matt Bloomfield’s side have already had to part company with club captain Carlton Morris, who recently joined Derby County, and it appears that Morris won’t be the last relatively big name to head for the exit door at Kenilworth Road.

As well as links involving Kaminski, it has also been reported that Championship trio Leicester City, Middlesbrough and Sheffield United hold an interest in Millenic Alli, who joined Luton from Exeter City in the January transfer window.
