Former Brentford midfielder Shandon Baptiste is in advanced discussions to sign for Luton Town on a free transfer, TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal.
Baptiste is a free agent following the expiry of his Brentford contract last month. Sources confirmed to TEAMtalk on May 15 that a number of clubs had registered their interest in the 26-year-old after learning that he would be available for nothing.
Fast forward to July, and Luton have moved quickly to try and win the transfer race and bring Baptiste to Kenilworth Road.Hatters boss Rob Edwards is keen to build a squad capable of challenging for promotion back to the Premier League next season and he sees Baptiste as a key addition to his side.
Baptiste struggled to hold down a regular spot under Thomas Frank last term, making just 12 appearances in all competitions.
The three-time Grenada international made only two starts in those 12 appearances for Brentford last campaign and is keen to kickstart his career with regular first-team football, with Luton set to provide him with that opportunity.
The all-action midfielder joined Brentford in January 2020 and helped them reach the Championship play-off final in his first season in West London.
