Luton are rumoured to have agreed a six figure fee to sign Birmingham City goalkeeper John Ruddy.
The 36-year-old made 44 appearances for the Blues last term, named Players’ Player of the Season by his team-mates, but despite starting the 1-1 draw at Swansea on Saturday, City’s opening Championship fixture of the season, the Daily Mail has reported he will complete a move to Kenilworth Road ahead of the Premier League starting at Brighton on Saturday, as long as Birmingham can bring in a replacement.
Town boss Rob Edwards, a former team-mate of Ruddy when the pair were at Norwich, moved to bring in Blackburn Rovers’ Belgian stopper Thomas Kaminski last week, although did also admit he was looking to sign a second keeper as well.
Earning his England debut in August 2012, the one cap he won for his country, Ruddy made almost 250 appearances for the Canaries, heading to Wolves in 2017, who also won promotion to the top flight, before joining Birmingham City last summer.
