Blackpool sign Blues winger Hansson

Emil Hansson made 24 appearances in all competitions for Birmingham City last season

Blackpool have signed Birmingham City winger Emil Hansson on a season-long loan deal.

The 27-year-old Norwegian scored once in 20 League One appearances for Blues last season after joining from Dutch side Heracles.

He could feature for the Seasiders in their League One season-opener against Stevenage on Saturday.

"We believe his experience in a team that achieved so much at this level last season can only be a good thing, and we look forward to welcoming him here and working with him," boss Steve Bruce told the club website.
