Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway has reportedly had his summer transfer plans hit by former club Blackpool, who have quoted a price of £14m to sign their star duo Thomas Ince and Matt Phillips.
Holloway had been confident of raiding his old team for both wing wizards, as he looks to build a squad capable of challenging in the Premier League next season.
Blackpool are listening to offers for both players but value England Under-21 winger Ince at £8m and Phillips just behind at £6m, according to The Mirror.
The Seasiders are hopeful of gaining the highest fee possible for their starlets because of sell-on clauses, with Liverpool and Wycombe Wanderers both due large chunks of any deals that take their former players away from Bloomfield Road.
Ince has already been linked with a string of clubs in the close season as Swansea City, Cardiff City and Tottenham Hotspur all continue to monitor his progress.
Phillips is in a stronger position as he enters the final year of his Blackpool contract, with the 22-year-old currently considering his options.
