Cardiff, Crystal Palace, Swansea chase Blackpool star Tom Ince

Cardiff, Crystal Palace and Swansea became the latest Premier League sides to join the battle for the signature of Blackpool starlet Tom Ince.

Earlier Liverpool or Tottenham were considered the preferable destinations for the talented winger. However newly promoted Cardiff and Crystal Palace could guarantee the player a role of a valuable first-team player, while at the top Premier league sides he will likely be used as a substitute.

Palace’s boss Ian Holloway considers Ince to be an ideal replacement for Wilfried Zaha, who made a switch to Old Trafford.

Ince has been in an outstanding form last season, scoring 20 goals and setting up another 16 on 53 appearances for the club.
