Branko Ilic courted by Blackpool

According to various reports, Premier League newcomers Blackpool have handed a trial to Lokomotiv's Slovenian defender Branko Ilic. Sky Sports claim that Blackpool are keen on the versatile defender and actually is currently on a trial at the English outfit. The decision about his future is expected to be made within few days

It is believed that Ilic, 27 yrs, is very eager to leave Russia for England.

Recall that Ilic joined Lokomotiv just some 4 months ago. With Kuzmin ahead in the pecking order, the Slovenian found it difficult to force his way into the first team and in the end made only a single appearance. Moreover, recently Branko was left out from Lokomotiv's squad list submitted for the Europa League.

With Ilic joining at a zero cost, any transfer fee more than 1 million euro will be more than welcomed. So given that we are in a dire need of money, I believe that should Blackpool table a reasonable offer Lokomotiv should accept it right away. Recall that moreover Lokomotiv recently signed Roman Shishkin and thus we aren't certainly lacking right full back.
