Blackpool have completed the signing of Sullay Kaikai on a two year deal with the option of an extra year. The deal, which was delayed by missing paperwork from his former club NAC Breda, was described by owner Simon Sadler as 'exciting' as the winger joins at the dawn of a new era at Bloomfield Road.
The 23 year old product of Crystal Palace's academy, had been in the senior Palace squad since 2013 before his move to NAC Breda in 2019. Prior to the move he had been loaned out to Crawley Town, Cambridge United, Shrewsbury Town (twice), Brentford and Charlton Athletic. Kaikai won the 'League Football Education Goal of the Season award' during his time in the Palace academy followed by the club's 'Young Player of the Year' award and has also played in the Premier League 3 times .
The Englishman predominantly plays as a winger, but can also be utilised as an attacking midfielder. In League One he has 45 accumulated appearances between his clubs, scoring 12 and assisting 6.
Speaking to the club website McPhillips added,
"Sullay is an exciting talent with bags of ability."
"He adds pace and power to our attack and hopefully plenty of goals and assists."
