Blackpool confirm Wolves transfer decision | OneFootball

Blackpool have confirmed the departure of Theo Corbeanu in a statement on their website.

The winger has returned to his parent club Wolves following 18 appearances for the Seasiders.

Corbeanu arrived in the summer as part of a season long loan agreement, but has had his time at Bloomfield Road cut short.

An ankle injury had kept Corbeanu out of the side in recent weeks, with his last appearance for the club coming in a 3-0 loss to Middlesbrough in November.

Corbeanu contributed three goals and one assist from 17 league appearances, with Michael Appleton’s side currently in the relegation zone of the Championship.

However, the Canadian’s departure does open up a slot in the squad for another loan player, with another winger potentially set to arrive in his place.

Former player Josh Bowler has been linked with a move back to Blackpool having only departed last summer.

Up next for Appleton’s side is an FA Cup clash against Bowler’s current parent club Nottingham Forest on 7 January.

The Verdict

Corbeanu proved a solid addition to the squad, with the winger performing well during his brief stint with the club.

Perhaps another Championship loan will be on the cards when he returns from injury, although maybe Julen Lopetegui will have plans for him in the first team squad.

But this move makes sense in the context of the speculation around former fan favourite Bowler.

This now makes a pathway back into the team very clear, indicating a deal this month could be likely.
