Out-of-favour Blackpool striker seals loan move to Chesterfield with option to make it permanent

The 28-year-old will remain with the Spireites until the end of the season and Chesterfield have the option to make Yussuf's move permanent.

The striker had been on loan with fellow National League side Wrexham, scoring five goals in 18 appearances for Dean Keates' side.

The Welsh outfit announced they had “reluctantly agreed” to terminate his loan to free him up for a permanent move elsewhere which will provide more stability for Yussuf and his young family.

On his move to Chesterfield, Yussuf said: "I’m grateful to be joining a great club like Chesterfield and I can’t wait to get started.

“I know a few of the boys here and I’ve heard good things about the club. From what I’ve heard, the manager is everything a player needs from a manager.

“I’m at the peak stage of my career and I want to be able to give everything to the club, on and off the pitch.”

The striker, who joined Blackpool on a free transfer from Solihull Moors in 2019, hasn’t featured in a competitive outing for the Seasiders.

Yussuf signed a two-year deal at Bloomfield Road having impressed in Solihull’s FA Cup ties against the Seasiders.
