Luton Town have made two further signings with the arrivals of Joe Gbodé and Ali Al-Hamadi.

The two arrivals bring Luton up to 4 deadline day incomings after the previously announced arrivals of Shayden Morris and Ethon Archer, with the deals seeing Gbodé and Al-Hamadi becoming Luton’s 13th and 14th new signings of the 2025 summer transfer window.

Gbodé has joined for an undisclosed fee from Gillingham, while Al-Hamadi has signed on loan with an obligation to buy from Ipswich Town. Luton have confirmed the deal for Al-Hamdi would see the obligation triggered if certain criteria are met.

The news brings an end to incomings at Luton in a busy window, with Matt Bloomfield attempting to renovate his squad to aim for an instant return to the Championship after last season’s surprise relegation.

Former Gillingham striker Gbodé, 20, was a graduate from the Gills’ academy, and made a first-team breakthrough with the Kent-based club last season, scoring 3 times in 39 appearances in all competitions. He had also scored one in Gillingham’s first 5 appearances of the new season.

Bloomfield told the official Luton website that he was impressed by Gbodé after seeing him play for Gillingham against Luton in a pre-season friendly, and was keen to bring him to the club.

He said, “Joe’s a young man who we have kept tabs on since the end of last season and who we played against this pre-season.

“I know the managerial team at Gillingham very well and they have had nothing but good things to say about Joe’s talent and how high is ceiling is.

“He’s one for the future but we’re looking forward to having him in and around the group.”

Al-Hamadi has been confirmed by Luton as their final signing of the 2025 summer transfer window, with the winger/striker joining from Ipswich.

The 23-year-old Iraqi international scored 27 in 48 appearances for AFC Wimbledon after joining the South London-based club from Wycombe Wanderers in 2023.

After impressing with AFC Wimbledon, Al-Hamadi made a move to Ipswich in 2024, where he helped the Tractor Boys earn promotion to the Premier League.

Although Al-Hamadi would make 11 Premier League appearances for Ipswich last season, becoming the first Iraqi player to play in the post-1992 top flight in the process, he struggled for game time, with Al-Hamadi spending the second half of last season on loan at Stoke City.

Bloomfield spoke of his excitement to bring Al-Hamadi to Luton, describing him as an exceptional arrival to bring to the club.

He said, “I’m really excited about this one. I’ve been a long-time admirer of his, and it’s a real signing of intent, especially having seen the way he’s developed over the past couple of years.

“He’s an incredible man, someone who is comfortable in himself and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. As a player, he’s got pace and power and wants to get in behind and score goals.

“His game really kicked on at Wimbledon and since moving to Ipswich, he’s played with some really top players which has improved his all-round game. He’s currently working back to fitness from a slight calf injury, but we’re really looking forward to him being a big part of our future.”
