Blackpool are reportedly keen on signing goalkeeper Richard Wright on a short-term deal.

The 32-year-old shot-stopper is currently unattached to any club, which means that he will be able to join a club and ply his trade under new employers despite the transfer window being closed.

The Seasiders are also thought to have a vacancy in their squad, which could allow the player to join the top-flight club and stake a claim to participate in the club's league campaign.

Now The Mirror claims that the Lancashire club have been following the 'keeper for some time, and hope to conclude a deal before the weekend.

Wright has been training with Crystal Palace in the hope of being offered a contract, but the club's decision to retain Julian Speroni could see him leave the Eagles.
