Pool in talks with striker

POOL are in talks with Ipswich Town striker Jon Stead.

The 27-year-old has fallen out of favour with Portman Road boss Roy Keane and ended last season on loan at Coventry.

And Keane confirmed that the striker is in talks at Bloomfield Road.

He said: 'Jon Stead's been speaking to a club today, Blackpool, but there's another club interested in him as well.

'A fee has been accepted for all three and we have given them permission to talk to the clubs. It's up to the players now to agree a deal.

'We gave them permission to speak to the clubs and it's up to them to agree. I'm not really up to date on if they've signed or agreed anything.'

The Yorkshireman has Premier League experience with Blackburn, Sunderland and Sheffield United.

Another striker reportedly on Pool's radar is Senegalese giant (6' 4) Macoumba Kandji of US club New York Red Bulls.
