Keinan on brink of Seasiders switch

19 July 2010 15:31
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway hopes to wrap up the signing of Israeli defender Dekel Keinan in the next 48 hours. Keinan had a medical with the Seasiders last week and is now waiting on a work permit before completing his move from Maccabi Haifa. The 25-year-old will be Blackpool's first signing since they won promotion to the Barclays Premier League in May and Holloway is expecting Keinan to be able to take part in the club's pre-season preparations in Devon this week. "Hopefully Dekel will get his work permit in the next couple of days," Holloway told the Blackpool Gazette. "He'll be able to take part in the other games here in Devon."
