The young right-back is expected to put pen to paper on a three-year deal with the Seasiders ahead of the 2023/24 season.
Donkor will sign his first professional deal with the club in the coming days after impressing while playing for the youth teams.
The 18-year-old had been on a scholarship with the club but has now graduated and is set to ink a contract with Blackpool.

Donkor was born in England to Ghanaian parents and there is eligible to play for Ghana at international level.
