Michael Appleton wants Thomas Ince deal done

Blackpool manager Michael Appleton has admitted that he is keen for Thomas Ince's future at the club to be resolved sooner rather than later.

The 20-year-old winger is out of contract at the end of the season and has reportedly attracted interest from a number of Premier League outfits.

"I'd love to keep him at Blackpool if I could, but if not then the earlier things can be done the better," Appleton told BBC Sport.

Ince has scored 13 goals in 20 Championship appearances this season.
