Luton sign midfielders Van den Berg & Sandal

Luton Town have signed Davy van den Berg on loan from Dutch club Utrecht and fellow midfielder Sverre Sandal from Norwegian club KFUM for an undisclosed fee.

Van den Berg, 25, has been with Utrecht since last summer and made nine appearances this season, including four in the Europa League.

Sandal, 22, played 26 games in Norway's top-flight Tippeligaen in 2025, scoring three goals.

"Everyone in Norway knows Luton's story, and when I look at my former club, we've had a similar rise to the top division unexpectedly," he said.

"I understand it's been a tough two years (with back-to-back relegations), but it seems like we are in the beginning of rebuilding and it's something I want to be a part of."

Luton are seventh in League One under boss Jack Wilshere, six points outside the play-off places.

On van den Berg, Wilshere said: "Davy comes with a good pedigree in Dutch football, having won promotion to the Eredivisie and then playing regularly in that division over the past three seasons.

"He's an attacking midfielder with a lovely left foot, so he'll bring something different to our squad. He's capable of scoring some spectacular goals and I'm certain he's a player who will have our fans on the edge of their seats."

The Hatters have released Zimbabwe international Marvelous Nakamba, who has now joined Sheffield Wednesday, while forward Jacob Brown has moved to Portsmouth.
