Thomas Ince admits that it is his "dream" to play in the Premier League, but is solely focused on competing for Blackpool.

Blackpool winger Thomas Ince has admitted that he is 'flattered' by interest from Premier League clubs but has insisted that he is focused on performing for the Seasiders.

The 21-year-old was thought to be closing in on a switch to former club Liverpool in January, while Manchester United have also been linked to the winner of the Football League Young Player of the Year award.

"I don't think any of the moves were close," Ince told talkSPORT. "It's great having that speculation and it's very flattering. To have teams of that magnitude saying you're a decent player, it gives me a smile and flatters me a lot.

"For me though it's about putting my faith in Blackpool because without that club, my teammates and the fans I wouldn't be Football League Young Player of the Year and the player I am now.

"My dream is to play at the top level and to achieve my ambitions, but it's all about timing and patience, so when you get to the top you are ready to go and not jumping too soon."

The England Under-21 international is currently playing under the management of his father Paul Ince at Bloomfield Road.
