Highly-touted teenager Sone Aluko became the 13th summer signing for Simon Grayson's Blackpool on Saturday.Aluko made his debut for Blackpool in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at home to Bristol City.

The 19-year-old came on as an 88th-minute substitute for Claus Beck Jorgensen in Blackpool's opening day loss after signing for the Seasiders from Championship rivals Birmingham.

Striker Aluko, who can also play in midfield, 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.

Aluko failed to make the grade at the Midlands club and only made one first-team appearance for Blues.
