Thomas Ince has admitted that he would be open to the possibility of staying at Crystal Palace beyond the end of the current season.
The 22-year-old, who joined the club on loan from Blackpool in the January transfer window, will become a free agent in the summer and claims that he could enter talks with Palace once again.
"It got to the stage where I thought now is the right time to go and play in the Premier League," Ince told reporters.
"If, in the summer, I stay on, then I've had that three months or so learning what the Premier League is like.
"If Palace like what they see from me then we'll sit down in the summer and see what's available."
Ince could make his Palace debut when they face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon.
