Blackpool have moved to keep hold of defender Stephen Crainey.

The Scot is a target for Premier League pair Swansea City and Wigan Athletic.

The Mirror says Seasiders supremo Karl Oyston is hopeful that free agent Crainey will agree a £15,000-a-week contract today despite rival interest.

Crainey was set to quit the Tangerines because he could get more money elsewhere, but they have now come up with terms that may persuade him to stay.
