Blackpool have blocked a move by Championship club Luton Town for defender Marc Bola.
But according to a tweet by Journalist Alan Nixon, the Hatters have not given up hope of signing the defender and are likely to revisit the deal.

Bola played forty-three times for the Seasiders last season and has a year left on his contract after signing on a free transfer last summer following his release by Arsenal.
The twenty-one-year-old had been at the Gunner’s since the age of thirteen and spent the 2017/18 season on loan at Bristol Rovers making eighteen League One outings for the Gas. Previously he also enjoyed a temporary stay at Notts County making thirteen appearances for the Pies in the second half of the 2016/17 campaign.
Luton are thought to be on the lookout for a replacement for influential full-back James Justin, who has been the subject of much summer transfer speculation linking him with a move away from Kenilworth Road.
Our View
Blackpool will want Bola to stay and enjoy the exciting new era that beckons for the club following the recent takeover by lifelong fan Simon Sadler.
Some fans feel he was arguably the Seasiders best player last season.
But the offer of Championship football and better terms might be too much for the ambitious player to resist and if the player wants to go, it is unlikely the club will stand in his way.
