Blackpool land Wigan's Dicko on loan

Wigan Athletic young gun Nouha Dicko has joined Blackpool on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 19-year old striker arrived at the DW Stadium from Strasbourg last summer but has not been given many first team opportunities.

Now he will head to Bloomfield Road, like fellow Latics youngster Callum McManaman, to expand his game in a more senior environment after spending a lot of time with Wigan's development squad.

"Blackpool is a team we know very well from the time Callum spent there, taking advantage of the experience," Latics boss Roberto Martinez told the club's official website.

"Now, Nouha is going to have the same opportunity and it's good news to have youngsters from the club going into the second half of the season playing competitive football progressing from reserve level."
