Blackpool have signed striker Armand Gnanduillet from League Two rivals Leyton Orient.

The two clubs agreed a fee for the Frenchman, who has put pen to paper on a two-year contract at Bloomfield Road.

The 24-year-old could make his debut for the Seasiders at home to Wycombe on Saturday.

Gnanduillet, given his chance in English football by Chesterfield, becomes the 10th new arrival at Blackpool under manager Gary Bowyer and the sixth forward on the club's books.

"We've picked up quite a few injuries in the striker department so I'm pleased that we've been able to get the deal done in time for the game against Wycombe Wanderers," Bowyer told the club's official website.
