Liverpool have rejoined the race to sign Thomas Ince, according to Sky sources.

The 21-year-old looks set to leave Blackpool after they gave him permission to open talks with a number of Premier League clubs.

Ince, along with his father Paul, met with Swansea on Monday and he is due to meet Crystal Palace on Tuesday, while Stoke, Hull and Sunderland also want to talk terms.

But now news of Liverpool's renewed interest could see them emerge as favourites.

Ince began his career at Anfield before his move to Blackpool in 2011, where he has risen to prominence as one of the best players outside the Premier League.

Liverpool had looked at landing him last summer, and now they have rekindled their interest following their failure to land Mohamed Salah.

French giants Monaco also remain keen on Ince, who could move to the principality outfit for just a moderate compensation fee at the end of the season.
