Blackpool have tonight confirmed that Thomas Ince has been granted permission to leave the club, with reports suggesting that the winger will join Swansea City.
Following speculation linking Ince with a move away this January, the Championship side released a short statement saying: "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."
The 21-year-old is to discuss a move to Welsh club Swansea this week, according to Sky Sports News.
