Blackpool secure Kornilenko

Blackpool have snapped up Belarus international Sergei Kornilenko on loan for the rest of the season.

The 27-year-old became the fourth transfer deadline day signing at Bloomfield Road from from Zenit St Petersburg, following Andy Reid, James Beattie and Jason Puncheon.
But Ian Holloway will be just as pleased to have made it to the end of the transfer window with captain Charlie Adam still on board - despite a last-minute bid from Tottenham Hotspur.

Strong Competition

Kornilenko, who has recently had loan spells with Tom Tomsk and Rubin Kazan, will add to Holloway's strike options.
There will now be strong competition for places up front for the Tangerines, thanks to the arrival of Beattie.
The 32-year-old joins on loan until the end of the season from Rangers, where he struggled to make an impact since joining from Stoke due to a series of injuries.
