Holloway tracking Tranmere Rovers' and Bristol City youngsters


Ian Holloway, the Blackpool manager, is believed to be preparing two late bids in an attempt to bolster his squad before the January transfer window shuts.

Dale Jennings, the Tranmere Rovers youngster, has been attracting a lot of interest following a string of excellent displays for the League One side and it is thought Holloway wants to table an early bid in the hope that the lure of playing his expansive style of football and the Premier League will be enough for Rovers to part with their prized assets.

Due to the shoe-string budget that Blackpool have to play with it is rumoured that Marvin Elliott, the athletic Bristol City central midfielder, has been scouted by Blackpool as a potential replacement to Charlie Adam should the talk of his transfer to Liverpool come to fruition. No official approach has been made by the Lancashire club but it is thought that City value Elliott at around £1m which may prove to be a stumbling block.
