Highly-rated Blackpool defender set for loan move

Skysports.com understands Blackpool defender Ashley Eastham is set to join League One side Bury on loan. Eastham is highly regarded at Bloomfield Road by Ian Holloway and agreed a new contract with the Seasiders in the summer. He has made three appearances for Blackpool's first team and was sent off in the Carling Cup defeat at Sheffield Wednesday earlier this month. However, he has impressed in two previous loan spells at Cheltenham Town and had been tracked by a number of clubs. Bury, though, are understood to have won the chase for the 20-year-old, who is now set to finalise a temporary move to Gigg Lane.
