Luton Town striker Lasse Nordas is reportedly on the verge of a permanent transfer to Polish club Cracovia. The deal could net the Hatters close to 2 million Euros for a player manager Jack Wilshere has deemed surplus to requirements. This potential sale comes as Luton Town sit 7th in League One, having taken four points from their opening two games ahead of a key home fixture against Stockport County.
Luton Town signed the Norwegian forward from Tromso in February 2025 for an undisclosed fee. Nordas, now 23, struggled to make an impact at Kenilworth Road, scoring just once in 21 league appearances. After a more productive loan spell at Dutch side Heerenveen, where he netted six times in 16 games, he returned to the club this summer. Manager Jack Wilshere decided Nordas was not part of his plans and instructed the player to find a new club.
This summer, Nordas was linked with several moves across Europe. Clubs in Poland, Sweden, and Denmark, including Rakow Czestochowa, Hammarby, Malmo FF, and AGF, were all mentioned as potential destinations. None of those links, however, led to a concrete offer. The current negotiations with Cracovia have progressed furthest, with a deal now close to completion. The situation has been described as Nordas being at the wrong club at the wrong time during his stay in Bedfordshire.
The departure of Nordas would further shape Jack Wilshere's attacking options for the season. Luton have started the campaign in solid form, scoring six goals and conceding five across their first two matches. They currently sit just three points behind early leaders Blackpool. The potential fee from the Nordas sale could provide additional flexibility for the club as they look to maintain their positive start.
The immediate focus shifts to the pitch and a significant early-season test at Kenilworth Road. Luton Town host high-flying Stockport County, who are 3rd in the table, on September 2nd. A positive result there would keep momentum building. Fans can track the team's progress and upcoming matches on our fixtures and standings pages. While the Nordas chapter appears to be closing, the club's primary objective is continuing their promising start to the League One season.
