Blackpool are chasing after Newcastle United youngster Elias Sorensen.

The Danish under-21 international could go out on loan for the rest of the season.

The 19-year-old has penned a new contract with the Magpies, but his first team opportunities are limited for this term.

Chronicle Live suggests that a loan to Blackpool would help them boost their chances of making the playoffs.

When asked about a loan for Sorensen, Newcastle coach Ben Dawson is quoted by Chronicle Live as saying: "It has to be the right place to go on loan - you saw tonight some of the strengths he has and some of the areas where he has to develop.

"He needs to play every week and the best place for him to go on loan is somewhere where there's an experienced striker for him to learn from."
