Swansea City have reportedly opened talks with Blackpool over a move for winger Thomas Ince.
The 21-year-old is expected to leave the Championship club either in the next month or at the end of the season.
Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins revealed last week that the Welsh side are keen on signing the England Under-21 international.
They have now moved a step closer to sealing his services by starting negotiations over a transfer, according to Sky Sports News.
Ince, who joined Blackpool from Liverpool in 2011, has scored seven goals 23 games this season.
