Blackpool winger Thomas Ince will not be joining Swansea City during the January transfer window after the Welsh club ended their interest in the player.

Swansea had been one of a number of teams who had been targeting a loan move for Ince, but a spokesman for Michael Laudrup's side has revealed that the 22-year-old's agent has been notified of the club's decision to withdraw their offer.

A spokesman told the South Wales Evening Post: "After lengthy internal discussions, Tom Ince's representative was informed last night that we would be pursuing other options. We wish Tom all the best for the future."

Crystal Palace, Hull City, Stoke City and Sunderland are all reported to have held discussions with the England Under-21 international this week.
