Blackpool have signed Leeds United winger Ian Poveda on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 22-year-old ex-England Under-20 international had an injury-hit spell in the Championship last term with Blackburn, making 10 appearances.

Poveda, who spent time with Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City youth teams, has made 20 first-team appearances for Leeds.

"He's clearly an exciting talent," said Blackpool boss Michael Appleton.

"He has fantastic feet, adds pace and is very direct."
