Banvo and Irie-Bi given a year to impress at Blackpool

Blackpool have secured the services of French youngsters Anderson Banvo and Brice Irie-Bi. Both had been on trial at Bloomfield Road and have signed one-year deals with the Championship outfit, who have the option of a further year. Banvo is an 18-year-old striker who featured in Paris St Germain's reserve-team set-up last term before being released at the end of the season. Irie-Bi, a 20-year-old midfielder, was also a free agent after being let go by Lille. Manager Ian Holloway will give them a chance to settle in the Tangerines' development squad before considering them for the first-team squad.
