No name unfortunately, but a few little whispers going round this morning that a forward has been signed.

No name unfortunately, but a few little whispers going round this morning that a forward has been signed.

His name is Jayden Luker apparently. Can play in the forward positions or as a midfielder. Sounds like our type of signing.

Keanan Bennetts has signed a one-year contract at Meadow Lane following a successful trial.

The 26-year-old, who plays primarily as a wing back but is also comfortable as an attacking midfielder or winger, returns to England having spent several seasons in the upper echelons of German and Austrian football.

Director of Football Roberto Gagliardi said: ?We?re very pleased to secure Keanan?s services having had the chance to work closely with him during his trial period.

?Keanan has a mixture of everything you look for in an attack-minded wing-back, most notably his pace, power and strength - attributes we?ve been keen to add to the squad this summer.

?He combines those assets with being a strong dribbler with plenty of flair, making him an exciting player to watch, and he?s equally adept in combination play which means he?s able to hurt defences in a number of ways.?



Bennetts emerged as one of Tottenham Hotspur?s most exciting prospects, gaining youth caps for Germany and England before being sold to Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach in 2018.

Having continued his development with his new club?s second team, Bennetts was given his top-flight debut as a late substitute against Wolfsburg before making 30 appearances in League One on loan at Ipswich Town during the 2020-21 season.

He continued his progress with Bundesliga minutes against Bayern Munich, Union Berlin, Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt on his return to Monchengladbach, before completing a move to SV Darmstadt and playing a role in their 2022-23 promotion to the German top flight.

Bennetts then continued his journey in Bundesliga II with what proved to be an injury-hampered spell with Wehen Wiesbarden, before bouncing back with some impressive performances for SK Klagenfurt in the Austrian top flight last season.

Interesting signings, Gump.

So we have a full squad (there might still be comings & goings), but one from which it's hard to identify an obvious starting XI.
Competition for places is great - but now the onus is on MP. Hopefully, he's a coach that'll select on merit and not favouritism. I suppose the technical board will protect against that type of thing.

We have 16 midfielder's, and only 3 strikers. Of which, one is banned for the next 5 games, and another who is just not good enough.. That leaves Just Dennis.
