Toffees starlet joins Championship side on loan

Blackpool have beaten off competition from Ian Holloway's old club QPR to sign Everton full-back Seamus Coleman on a month's loan. Coleman, 21, who will wear the number 31 shirt, will go straight into the Seasiders' squad to face Crystal Palace at Bloomfield Road. The Republic of Ireland Under 21 international joined the Premier League outfit from Sligo Rovers for £60,000 in January 2009. He made his debut for the Toffees in their Europa League defeat to Benfica in October of last year.
