Ince Gets 'Dream Move' to Spain
One of England's biggest prospects has followed in the footsteps of his father by making a move abroad. Thomas Ince, son of former Inter Milan star Paul, has signed a contract with Spanish team Sevilla.
The 22-year-old, whose previous clubs include Liverpool and Blackpool, will be the first choice left winger for Luis Fabiano's side, with Diego Perotti having left the club earlier this week.
The youngster refused to sign a new deal with Blackpool, and was reluctantly released from the club - and in came Sevilla with an offer that Ince himself calls a "dream".
Last season, Sevilla were without a natural left midfielder, and were forced to play fullback Alberto Moreno in the slot, but Fabiano clearly recognized that a player like Ince was needed - Moreno is now subject to interest from Schalke, but Sevilla are determined to keep the promising Spaniard.
Ince, uncapped by England, told the BBC:
"I'm stunned by this move. This is something I'd never expected to happen. I'd expected to stay in England for the rest of my career. I never thought I'd move abroad, especially to a team like Sevilla. I am so honoured to be a part of this club, and I hope that I can live up to what the fans expect of any Sevilla player. This is a dream come true."
