Striker Michael Chopra has revealed that he completed a medical this afternoon with Blackpool the club involved. Yesterday, boss Mick McCarthy confirmed that the 29-year-old was in talks with another club after he was absent from the squad at Colchester.
Chopra tweeted: "Long day today just finished medical. Four and a half hours is a long time to be in a scanner.”
Blackpool emerged as contenders to sign the former England U21 international earlier today with rumours that he was with the Tangerines circulating throughout the afternoon. Confirmation of the switch seems likely to come on Thursday.
Chopra has added a number eight to his Twitter name, one of several shirts currently vacant at Bloomfield Road.
The striker, previously linked with Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday, appears certain to be moving on a free transfer with the Blues settling the remaining year of his contract.
Blackpool are also expected to add Bristol City frontman Steven Davies, a Blues target last summer while he was at Derby, to their squad.
