Luton Town – Striker Becomes Third Signing In A Week As Premier League Season Beckons

While away on my happy holidays, I had expected the Hatters to make one or two signings.

However, I didn’t expect them to make three signings in as little as seven days, but that has proven to be exactly the case.

Following the confirmation of the deals involving – Thomas Kaminski – and – Ross Barkley – yesterday, the Official Site confirmed that a deal had been agreed, with Stoke City, for Jacob Brown.

Brown, a Scottish international forward, has put pen-to-paper on a deal for the now obligatory undisclosed fee.

But, to me, he wasn’t a name that immediately sprung to mind, upon reading the news.

While with Stoke City, he netted 26 goals in 125 league appearances, not the best of goals to games ratio and I wonder where he will fit in at Kenilworth Road.

Has he the ability to challenge Carlton Morris and Elijah Adebayo, for a striking position, or is his role more of a Cauley Woodrow role, there to put pressure on our current striking duo and, once given a chance, grasp the opportunity with both hands?

Sat here in the editorial chair I’d be interested to read your views in the comment facility beneath this article.
