Paul Dickov has not agreed a deal to join Championship side Blackpool, according to his representatives.

The 35-year-old striker was released by Manchester City at the end of last season and is currently without a club.

He spent the second half of last term on loan at Bloomfield Road and some reports have suggested he has already signed a permanent contract with the Seasiders.

Dickov has also been in negotiations with former club Leicester and Major League Soccer side Toronto FC, and his agents First Artist Sport insist that no deal has been signed with any club yet.

"Contrary to reports in the press that Paul Dickov has joined Blackpool, that we believe have come direct from the club, First Artist can confirm that this is not the case," read a statement from First Artist.

"Paul has been in discussions with Blackpool as well as other clubs including Leicester City and Toronto FC but is yet to finalise a deal."
