Ross Barkley at Nice

Ross Barkley signs for Luton Town on a free transfer


Luton have confirmed the signing of former Chelsea and Everton midfielder Ross Barkley on a free transfer.

The former England international spent last season at Ligue 1 club Nice following his departure from Chelsea by mutual consent.

The 29-year-old could make his debut for the Hatters in their opening Premier League match at Brighton on Saturday.

“Why Luton? Going from the Conference to the Premier League is a great story and for me personally to be back in the Premier League, it’s great motivation,” Barkley said on the Luton club website.
