Striker eyes Seaside switch

by Admin , 25 May 2010 Striker eyes Seaside switch

DJ Campbell is hoping to complete a permanent move to Blackpool in the summer and hopes Leicester will allow him to leave.


Campbell impressed while on loan with the Seasiders this season and played a crucial role as Ian Holloway's men defied all the odds to win a place in the Premier League.

The striker is now due to return to Leicester but says all being well he will return to Bloomfield Road on a permanent basis.

"What happens next? I can't answer that yet but I had a little word with the gaffer after Saturday's game and he wants to sign me. I want to come so it is just a case of hoping Leicester don't do something silly," Campbell told the Leicester Mercury.

"But everyone in Blackpool knows how much I love the club - I wouldn't have come back otherwise. We'll see what happens during the summer but I have been so happy to be at Blackpool during the second half of the season. I love the club. I love everybody, all the players and the gaffer. "

I am speechless and just delighted for everyone that we've actually managed to win promotion.

But we've deserved it I think.

The last 12 games we have been on such a great run and we showed again on Saturday that we deserve to be where we are.

I am delighted."
