Blackpool boss Holloway convinced Kornilenko will surprise opposition

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is convinced he's unearthed a gem in Sergei Kornilenko.

The Belarus striker has joined the Seasiders on-loan from Zenit St Petersburg.

Although he doesn't speak a word of English, Ollie wrote in the Independent on Sunday: "Thankfully the beautiful thing about football is that it is an international language and when he has the ball at his feet he knows exactly what to do.

"Sergei looks a seriously good player and in a couple of weeks - when he's fit enough - I think the rest of the Premier League will find that out."
