Blackpool expect numerous bids for Thomas Ince

Blackpool manager Paul Ince believes that a number of clubs will express an interest in his son Thomas this month.

The winger was tipped to leave the Seasiders last season following reported interest from Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, but the 21-year-old opted to continue working on his craft at Bloomfield Road.

Premier League side Swansea City have confirmed that they have made an approach for Ince, while Monaco and Ajax have also been linked to the player.

"It won't just be Swansea who come in, but when you see him playing like he did on Saturday, he's going to get attention from other clubs," the Blackpool Gazette quotes Ince as saying.

"I thought that was Thomas back to his best. He was on a different level. Swansea have been in touch with our chairman. Karl [Oyston] is dealing with [Swansea City chairman] Huw Jenkins on that one."

Ince's current contract at Blackpool runs out at the end of the season.
