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...
1. Macaulay Langstaff, Notts County
He scored 42 goals in all competitions last season to help Notts County gain promotion.
2. Jonson Clarke-Harris, Peterborough
The striker has been placed on the transfer list by the Posh.
4. Layton Stewart, Liverpool
The young forward has been linked with a loan switch to Blackpool recently.
5. Tyler Walker, free agent
He is an option for the Seasiders after leaving Coventry City last month.
6. Aaron Collins, Bristol Rovers
The Welshman chipped in with 16 goals in all competitions last term.
