Blackpool have agreed a fee with AFC Bournemouth for the transfer of striker Brett Pitman.
Details of the transfer fee have yet to be announced but it is likely to be in the region of £450,000, with various sums having been rumoured throughout the summer, with Bournemouth also rejecting an initial bid on Wednesday. It ends weeks of speculation as to the future of the 22 year old, with Derby County also thought to be interested at one stage during the summer.
Pitman finished last season with 26 league goals meaning that over the past two seasons and the first two games of this he has scored 46 times in league competition in 89 appearances for the Cherries, having scored his first goals of the season in the 5-1 victory against Peteborough last weekend, scoring a hat-trick himself. In fact his first ever senior goal earned Bournemouth a draw with Blackpool.
Pitman would become the Tangerines eighth signing of the season with Israeli defender Dekel Keinan the latest to join Ian Holloway's side. The news comes on the same day that Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston has resigned from his post at the coastal club.
