Stuttgart have announced the deadline day signing of 22-year-old defensive midfielder Mamadou Bah, ending speculation of a move to Premier League Blackpool.

The Guinean international moves from French club Strasbourg after completing a medical at Stuttgart.

Stuttgart sporting director Freddy Bobic said: "He is a highly talented player."

The move ends interest from Ian Holloway's Blackpool who were looking to complete a deal before the end of the transfer window.

Holloway will now have to look elsewhere to strengthen his squad ahead of a survival attempt this season.
