MARK CULLEN sent Blackpool’s play-off specialist­s into Tangerine dreamland – despite their fans’ Wembley boycott.

WEST HAM have made a bid for Manchester City’s £20million-rated striker Kelechi Iheanacho.

City boss Pep Guardiola is likely to allow the 20-year-old (below) to leave this summer. The Hammers are unlikely to meet that valuation but are hopeful of getting a deal done after tabling a first formal bid.

The Blues could be interested in a loan as they realise Iheanacho is a good prospect but he has found it difficult to get into the first team.

West Ham are keen to strengthen their strike force especially after allowing Argentinia­n Jonathan Calleri to leave after having him on loan.
