Swansea are expected to loan Blackpool star Thomas Ince after the youngster was reportedly given permission to join a Premier League club.

Ince, 22, son of recently sacked Blackpool manager Paul, has been linked with a whole host of Premier League clubs and recently and perhaps more surprisingly Monaco.

Blackpool have now said on their website: "Blackpool Football Club can confirm that, following discussions with Thomas Ince and his representative, permission has been given for Thomas to discuss a loan move to a Premier League club.

"Thomas has expressed his ambition to play in the Premier League for the remainder of the season, a decision that the club fully understands and supports."

Ince is Blackpool's top scorer this season with seven goals.
