Portsmouth boss Steve Cotterill doesn't want to lose striker David Nugent.

Nugent is a summer target for Blackpool.

Cotterill told the Portsmouth News: "The only thing that saddens me about Nuge is his contract is up at the end of the season. That's the worst.

"I love him. He's a great lad. We all live in hope that he'll stay.

"I knew the kid before he came here and I know him even better now.

"He's flourished this season and I'm delighted for him."
