Reading bid for Championship starlet

Reading have made a bid for Blackpool hotshot Thomas Ince

Reading have made a bid for Blackpool hotshot Thomas Ince, according to Sky Sports.

The 20-year old has been subject of many rumours in the January transfer window, with Liverpool reportedly keen on resigning their academy product. Director of Football Nicky Hammond was seen at Molinuex for Blackpool’s encounter with Wolves, where the winger scored an impressive brace, one of which was a superb 25-yarder.

The fee mentioned is in the region of £7 million to £8 million, with the Championship outfit likely to accept the offer if the reported price is correct. Ince, an England under 21 international, has scored an impressive 21 times in 60 appearances for the Tangerines.
