Newcastle United will reportedly attempt to sign Blackpool forward Thomas Ince in January.
The Magpies would consider paying around £4.5m for the England Under-21 international, according to The Mirror.
The 21-year-old opted to stay with the Tangerines this summer despite strong interest from newly-promoted Cardiff City but hasn't penned a new deal at Bloomfield Road this term.
Ince is Blackpool's top scorer in the Championship this season with four goals.
