It has been reported that the League One club have been looking at both Liverpool youngster Harvey Blair and Cliftonville forward Ronan Hale.

"I know Harvey because I worked with him but there’s no truth in that,” stated Blackpool boss Neil Critchley.

"With the other boy, I think that’s just speculation, so I can assure you there's nothing in that at all.”
