Thomas Ince 'set for Inter Milan deal'

Thomas Ince will reportedly finalise a deal to join Inter Milan this week, with his contract at Blackpool set to expire at the end of the season.

The 22-year-old, who has spent the second half of the season on loan at Crystal Palace, could move to the Italian giants, with Inter thought to be paying as little as £155,000 in compensation to the Seasiders.

Ince was also attracting interest from Greek champions Olympiakos and had met with representatives of the Athens club, before deciding that a move to Milan would be a better option for his career.

Should he complete a move to Italy, he would follow the footsteps of father Paul Ince, who left Manchester United to join Inter Milan in 1995 and spent two years at the San Siro.
