DJ Campbell has given Seasiders fans hope by claiming Saturday's clash with Nottingham Forest might not be his final game at Bloomfield Road.
Campbell has always been cagey when asked about his future.

But today the striker has, for the first time, given Blackpool the go ahead to try to sign him, saying he is prepared to enter into talks about a deal.

Campbell has smashed eight goals in 18 games since joining on loan from Leicester in January.

He is under contract at the Walkers Stadium for a further year but, despite the Foxes' elevation to the Championship, insists he has no desire to return.

That means he is set to depart in the summer – the only question is where he will end up.

And the good news for Tony Parkes and those on the terraces is that it could be with the Seasiders.

Don't miss our special late edition featuring pictures and a full report from the game, in shops from 4:30pm on Saturday afternoon.

"Nothing has been talked about yet regards the future," said the 27-year-old.

"I want to get these final two games out of the way, get the season finished and then sit down and see what happens.

"So it may or may not be my last game at Bloomfield Road on Saturday.

"If it is obviously I would love to go out with a bang and it would be nice to get a goal.

"It has been good at Blackpool and I have enjoyed my time here.

"The lads have been superb, the management have been great and the fans have been terrific as well.

"It is a lovely little club and obviously if we sit down in the summer ... well, we'll see what happens.

"I don't want to go back to Leicester though – anything apart from that."

If there ever was a time for KO to get his cheque book out, this is it!

DJ is a proven goal-scorer at this level. He wants to play for us. To buy the likes of Bishop from Bury would cost the best part of £400k and he is unproven at Championship level. Spend the extra £100k and you would get DJ.

This would almost guarantee us our place in the CCC for at least another season after next and the TV money would more than pay for his services.

Look further than the end of your nose KO!
