Swansea City planning January bid for Blackpool's Thomas Ince?

Swansea City are reportedly ready to make another move for Blackpool's Thomas Ince, as Michael Laudrup bids to strengthen his frontline.

According to the South Wales Evening Post, Laudrup made enquiries about signing Ince last summer, while Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins admitted in the autumn that the player was on Swansea's radar.

Amid suggestions that Swansea have made a firm bid for the highly-rated England Under-21 winger, Laudrup has refused to rule out a move.

"[Ince is] a player who has been mentioned before," said the Swansea manager. "He is a talented player, but what more can I say?

"There are a lot of talented players out there and a lot of players will be linked with a lot of teams in the near future."

Swansea are currently 13th in the Premier League.
