Transfer News: Luton Town Sign Tottenham Hotspur's Young Star Goalkeeper
Last Updated: Luton Town has signed Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Josh Keeley after the 22-year-old impressed on loan at Leyton Orient last season. League One team Luton Town has announced the signing of highly regarded Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Josh Keeley. The 22-year-old has signed a permanent contract following an impressive season on loan at Leyton Orient in League One last term. The Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper joined Spurs' Academy from St Patrick's Athletic in July 2022 and immediately joined the first team's pre-season tour of South Korea. He did the same in the summer of 2023 as Spurs travelled to Australia, Thailand, and Singapore. Keeley was a regular for the Under-21s in his first two seasons before joining National League side Barnet on loan in January 2024. In his first interview with Luton Town, Josh revealed that a former Town goalkeeper helped persuade him to join the Hatters. He said, 'Dean Brill was my goalkeeper coach at Spurs, and he told me how big and how great the club was. To be honest, those words helped turn my head completely, so I'm absolutely delighted and grateful that I'm here." He continued, 'I moved to Spurs when I was 19, but there comes a time in your career that it's time to move on – and that time is now, so it's time to kick on and I can't wait to get started." Who Is Josh Keeley? Last season was quite remarkable for Josh. He joined Leyton Orient on loan in August 2024 and played 36 times for the O's, keeping 16 clean sheets, including a run of 660 minutes without conceding a goal in December. He made national headlines by scoring a late equaliser in the FA Cup second round against Oldham and produced more heroics in a penalty shoot-out win against Derby in the third round to set up a fourth-round tie against Manchester City. Orient went on to make the League One play-off final where Josh started in a 1-0 loss against Charlton at Wembley. His performances were recognised with three accolades at Orient's end-of-season awards, including Goal of the Season, an exceptional achievement. Capped at Under-17, Under-19, and Under-21 levels, Josh earned his first senior call-up for the Republic of Ireland for this summer's friendlies against Senegal and Luxembourg.

Love Is Blind Season 9: Host Vanessa Lachey Teases Major Twist In The Upcoming Season
Last Updated: As the premiere date nears, co-host Vanessa Lachey has spilt some big twists that are going to take place in season 9. Love Is Blind returns for its ninth season on October 1, exclusively on Netflix. This popular reality series brings together a new group of singles in Denver, where they'll form deep connections, fall in love, and even get engaged, all without ever laying eyes on each other. With fresh faces and unexpected twists, the upcoming season promises another dramatic journey into love, sight unseen. As the premiere date approaches, co-host Vanessa Lachey has revealed some major twists set to unfold in Season 9. In an interview with E! News, Lachey said, 'Something happens in Denver. That has never happened on any of the Love Is Blind." Although she didn't disclose many details, Lachey emphasised that this season's cast has a unique character, influenced by Denver's culture. 'The beauty of Love Is Blind being in different cities is that you get the character of that season, that city," Lachey said. She noted that in some cities, people prioritise their careers, while in others, faith takes precedence, and in some, drinking holds more importance. 'It varies…so you can imagine what Denver's going to be," she added. Although singles join the show in pursuit of love, not every couple makes it down the aisle. While there have been a few success stories, such as Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton from Season 1, or Daniel Hastings and Taylor Haag from Season 8, the series has also seen its fair share of heartbreaks. One of the most talked-about moments came in Season 6, when Chelsea Blackwell and Jimmy Presnell split shortly after filming wrapped, sparking widespread attention from fans. However, it was not just their breakup that grabbed the attention. While being on the show, Chelsea claimed she resembled Megan Fox. Her comment was met with huge backlash on the internet, making her address the severe criticism. During an interview with E! News, Chelsea mentioned, 'I think people went way too hard." Her remarks came after Jimmy accused her of being dishonest about her looks and appearance on the show, although he later admitted to mishandling the situation and resolved the matter. After the season came to an end and Chelsea parted ways with Jimmy, she looked back at the incident and said, 'Now, it's just going to be a joke, and I'll never live it down. It's just funny," as per E! News. Putting behind all the past dramas, the show is gearing up to launch a new season with fresh faces on their way to find true love amid all uncertainties and unexpected twists. view comments First Published: July 19, 2025, 17:18 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
