Uche Ikpeazu is looking to make his mark on the Blackpool first team after agreeing to a loan deal from Watford until the end of the season.

Ikpeazu started well in a temporary spell with Port Vale earlier this season, but struggled for starts after he was dismissed at Burton Albion in October. He hopes he can make a quick and more sustained impact at the Tangerines.

"I'm a big striker and most of the other lads aren't as tall so I might offer something aerially and on the physical side of things," he told the club website. "Your main aim as a striker is to score goals and I believe I can do that and I can offer certain things on the floor."

Blackpool makes a trip to Walsall this weekend, and is able to recall Mark Cullen to the lineup.
