Defender chase hots up

Last Updated : 05-Jun-2008 by
Latvian international defender Kaspar Gorkss is a wanted man, with five Championship clubs looking to prise him away from Blackpool.

Gorkss, 26, has a £250,000 release clause and, as with his teammate Wes Hoolahan, the likes of Glenn Roeder are keen to make the most of a potential cut-price acquisition.

'Pool boss Simon Grayson has secured Marlon Broomes as a ready-made replacement for Gorkss following his release from newly-promoted Stoke.
