Winger heads to the seaside on loan for rest of season

Nouha Dicko has joined Ian Holloway's Blackpool for the rest of the season on-loan.

The 19-year-old follows in the footsteps of another of Latics' hot prospects, Callum McManaman, who spent the first half of the season with the Tangerines, making a goal-scoring return to the First Team earlier this month against Swindon Town.

The Frenchman joined the Club at the start of the season from Strasbourg and having made a big impression in the Development Squad, was handed his First Team debut in the Carling Cup against Crystal Palace back in September.

Manager Roberto Martinez said:

"Blackpool is a team we know very well from the time Callum spent there, taking advantage of the experience.

"Now Nouha is going to have the same opportunity and it's good news to have youngsters from the club going into the second half of the season playing competitive football progressing from Reserve-level."
