Blackpool are set to make their second new signing since last week’s takeover according to journalist Alan Nixon.
On Friday the Seasiders announced the capture of former Plymouth Argyle defender Ryan Edwards on a two-year deal and according to the journalist, the tangerine scarf will soon be making an appearance at Bloomfield Road, held aloft by another new player.

Blackpool have been strongly linked by the same source for a move for Jamie Devitt who the Cumbrians recently announced would not be signing a new deal to stay at Brunton Park.
In a tweet over the weekend Nixon claimed Blackpool were leading the race to sign the midfielder, fending off competition from Plymouth Argyle and Swindon Town.

The Irishman scored twelve League Two goals and contributed seven assists for the Cumbrians last season and is now available on a free transfer.
Striker Adi Yusseff signed for Blackpool before the announcement of the recent takeover by lifelong fan Simon Sadler.
Our View
Devitt would be a good signing, but we will have to wait and see.
Nixon was correct on Ryan Edwards, so it seems likely, but you never know.
One thing is for sure; the future is already looking brighter for the Tangerines.
