Reading favourites to sign Tom Ince

Reading have had an offer accepted by Blackpool for midfielder Tom Ince. According to reports, an £8 million offer has been enough to persuade Ince's club to part with his services.

Liverpool were initially favourites to secure his coveted signing, but instead turned to Inter Milan midfielder Philippe Coutinho yesterday in a £8 million move.


Reading's manager Bryan McDermott has been given a fund of around £9 million to spend on new players, and will turn to Ince.
