Highly-rated midfielder Lamine Fanne will become the latest acquisition to join the Luton Town family.

The 20-year-old, who was born in Senegal before moving to Spain as a child, has agreed to join from Swedish top-flight club AIK.

After passing a medical, putting pen to paper and meeting his new team-mates at The Brache, defensive midfielder Fanne will make an immediate return to Sweden where he will finish the season which ends in November.

Fanne, who has been a regular in the AIK side this season, will come to Kenilworth Road permanently in January.

“Lamine is a really exciting young player that has been identified by the recruitment team, and kudos to them for their swift and decisive action,” said manager Rob Edwards.

“He’s one we all think has really high potential. He is a strong boy but can take the ball. He’s more of a defensive midfielder and can be really comfortable holding the ball under pressure.

“He’s aggressive and strong in the tackle, and is very skilful. It was great meeting him because he was so happy to be here.

“Lamine is an exciting one for us but he will now go back to AIK until their season finishes, take a break, then come here in January when we look forward to working with him.”

Welcome to Luton Town, Lamine, and good luck for the rest of the season with AIK!
