Luton Town have announced the deadline day signing of Norwegian striker Lasse Nordås from Tromsø.

Nordås is Luton’s eighth new signing of the January transfer window, with the 22-year-old also being the second Norwegian to arrive at the club following the previous arrival of Thelo Aasgaard from Wigan.

The striker moves from Norway to Bedfordshire for an undisclosed fee and has signed a contract of undisclosed length with the Hatters.

In his time with Tromsø, Nordås scored 18 goals in 63 appearances, representing the club in the Europa Conference League along the way.

Nordås had also previously played for Lillestrom, Strømmen and Bodo/Glimt, playing for the latter in the Champions League. The move will be Nordås’ first outside Norway.

Luton boss Matt Bloomfield told the club’s official website of his delight to make the signing happen.

He said, “Lasse’s a really exciting signing for us, with the potential that he brings as well as goals at the top of the pitch.

“He comes really highly regarded, but Lasse is someone who already has some good experience so he’s got good pedigree and knows where the back of the net is.

“He’s an under-21 International and has played European football, but this is his off-season, so we’ve got to be careful with him and build him up slowly.

“Lasse’s an international teammate of Thelo’s too, so that will help him settle. They’re the future of Norwegian football and for us too.”
