Blackpool bid for Stead

by Admin , 29 July 2010 blackpool team

Ipswich boss Roy Keane has confirmed Blackpool have had a bid accepted for Jon Stead, but a deal with the striker is yet to be agreed.


Stead spent the end of last season on loan at Coventry and is now deemed surplus to requirements at Portman Road.

Keane has now confirmed that a fee with Blackpool has been agreed, although Stead has yet to agree terms at Bloomfield Road and there are other interested parties.

"Jon Stead's been speaking to a club today, Blackpool, but there's another club interested in him as well," said Keane.

The Ipswich boss revealed it was now up to the player as to whether he makes the move to Blackpool but claimed he was not "up to date" with how far the deal had progressed.

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway has confirmed he has tabled a club record bid for a striker, thought to be DJ Campbell.

Campbell enjoyed a productive loan stay with the Seasiders last season and Holloway is keen to bring the striker back to Bloomfield Road.

Holloway confirmed the club had "smashed" their club record, currently £500,000 paid for Charlie Adam last summer, with two bids as he looks to build a squad capable of competing in the Premier League.

It has been confirmed by Ipswich that Blackpool have had a bid accepted for striker Jon Stead, while Leicester man Campbell is believed to be the other subject of Holloway's transfer activity and the Seasiders boss hinted it was indeed the 28-year-old Foxes forward.

"We smashed our record yesterday with a couple of offers. That sums up what we are trying to do," said Holloway.

He added: "You don't need to be a rocket scientist to think about who we haven't got who scored in vital games for us."
