Holloway wants to make Wright move quickly

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is trying to push through a deal for former England keeper Richard Wright - and talk him into a short-term contract.

Wright is a free agent and has been training with Crystal Palace but he could join the Seasiders squad outside the window - and be able to take a squad number as they have a vacancy.

Holloway has been chasing Wright for days but the money men are yet to agree terms with him, but hope to clinch a move before the weekend.

Wright had also been holding on for a deal at Palace, but their decision to keep Julian Speroni - a target for Fulham - means that he would not get a contract or a game with the Eagles.
