Thomas Ince in talks with Stoke City

Blackpool winger Thomas Ince is in talks with Stoke City over a possible move before the end of the month.

The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with a number of clubs in January, including Liverpool and Swansea City.

Swansea boss Michael Laudrup revealed on Tuesday morning that he had already spoken to Ince with regards to a transfer.

However, the England Under-21 international could now choose to play for Stoke after arriving at the Britannia Stadium to hold preliminary discussions.

Ince joined Blackpool from Liverpool in 2011.
