Swansea City have reportedly tabled a bid for Blackpool winger Thomas Ince as they seek a replacement for Manchester City-bound Scott Sinclair.
Sinclair is the subject of interest from the Premier League champions as Roberto Mancini looks to bolster his wide options, with Adam Johnson poised for a move away before the end of the transfer window.
Swans first-team coach Alan Curtis has admitted that Sinclair's switch is "just a matter of time" and with that in mind, manager Michael Laudrup has begun his search for an alternative.
Ince was a key player in Blackpool's run to the playoff final last season and has started this Championship campaign in equally impressive form, scoring twice in their opening-day win over Millwall.
A host of clubs are apparently interested in the 20-year-old, but Swansea stepped up their chase by lodging an official offer, according to Sky Sports News.
