Blackpool will need to find a replacement for Jerry Yates if he is to complete a switch to Swansea City. The Championship are working on a deal to lure the former Rotherham United and Swindon Town man away from Bloomfield Road.
Neil Critchley was always going to face a battle to keep hold of the 26-year-old. He found the net 15 times in the last campaign despite the Seasiders’ struggles on the pitch that ultimately ended in relegation back to League One from the second tier.
Here is a look at 15 players who Blackpool could sign to replace Yates this summer...
