In-demand Ince offered new Blackpool deal

Blackpool have offered Tom Ince a new contract but chairman Karl Oyston is braced for January bids for the sought-after winger.

Ince turned down a move to Cardiff City in July and several other Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for the England Under-21 international.

Eredivisie side Ajax were also this week reported to be lining up a move for the 21-year-old son of Blackpool manager Paul Ince.

Oyston has revealed the Championship club have offered their prized asset a fresh deal, as his existing contract runs out at the end of the season.

And Oyston admits he has no idea where Ince will be playing his football at the end of the transfer window.

He told BBC Radio Lancashire: “We get compensation if he goes abroad, but I think it’s more likely a domestic club will make an offer in January,

“It’s down to Tom and his father whether we choose to sell or keep him until the end of his contract.

“We have offered him a new contract. It’s very fluid, there’s nothing definite and I certainly shall not start speculating. Who knows what will happen, but it’s an interesting situation.”
