Blackpool have signed Birmingham winger Sone Aluko on a month's emergency loan. Aluko made his debut for Blackpool in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at home to Bristol City. 19-year-old Aluko came on as an 88th-minute substitute for Claus Jorgensen in Blackpool's opening day loss after signing for the Seasiders from Championship rivals Birmingham. Aluko is the thirteenth new face to join The Tangerines this summer after receiving rave reviews while on loan at Aberdeen last season. A product of the Birmingham City Academy, 19-year-old Aluko has represented England from U15 and U19 level.
