Puncheon joined the Seasiders in January when the Tangerines swooped to clinch his signing on deadline day. The 24-year-old is on loan at Bloomfield Road from Southampton, having already impressed hugely during a loan stint with Championship side Millwall. Now the exciting forward is proving he is more than capable of playing at the highest level and has bagged two goals in two Premier League starts for Ian Holloway's men. Blackpool will no doubt look to try and seal his signature, but Sky Sports understands that a number of rival Premier League clubs are showing an interest. Bolton, Everton and West Brom have all been impressed by the former Milton Keynes Dons man, and are keeping a close check on him. Also alerted are Newcastle, where his former manager Alan Pardew is now in charge and he could very well join any end-of-season bidding for Puncheon.
