Top goalscorer Armand Gnanduillet to leave Blackpool for free when his contract expires this summer

The 28-year-old took to Instagram to confirm his departure, bringing an end to his four-year spell with the Seasiders.

It means Pool will lose their 18-goal forward for free.

“To the fans, staff, my teammates, people who trusted in me and people who didn’t trust in me, I would like to say a massive thank you to y’all (sic),” he posted on his social media page.

“Yes, during the four years playing for Blackpool it’s been a blessing, an honour and a pleasure for me and I can not thank God enough for the chance - I had to express myself under this shirt!

“Veni, vidi, vici, it’s time for me to say goodbye...all the best for the future and once again - thanks y’all!”
