A number of Premier League clubs are reportedly monitoring the progress of Blackpool midfielder Thomas Ince.
The 20-year-old has earned a number of plaudits for his performances in the Championship this season.
That has attracted the interest of Everton, Fulham, Wigan Athletic and Bolton Wanderers, according to Sky Sports News.
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway is believed to be reluctant to lose a player that he only signed from Liverpool in the summer.
However, offers are expected to be made in the summer, particularly if the Seasiders fail to gain promotion to the Premier League.
Ince is the son of former England international Paul.
