Young West Ham United striker Elliot Lee has joined League One strugglers Blackpool on loan until January 3.

The 20-year-old, who has scored once in seven appearances for West Ham, has previously spent time out on loan in the Football League with Luton Town, Southend United and Colchester United.

Lee, who is the son of former Newcastle United midfielder Rob Lee, scored his first Hammers goal against FC Lusitans in July.

The Tangerines are only off the bottom of League One by virtue of their goal difference.
