Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is lining up an £8million move for the Blackpool and England Under-21 star Tom Ince, writes Alan Nixon of the Sunday People .

Pardew has finally got the nod to sign players and is racing to make an offer for the clever winger who is also wanted by Everton after recently turning down Cardiff.

The Toon boss knows Ince’s ­value is now fixed and, ­although it is more than they want to pay, the fee is within his budget.

Ince knocked back Cardiff for personal ­reasons but he would be more interested in the switch to Newcastle.

However Pardew has to get his finger out and get supremo Joe Kinnear to bid fast to beat interest from rival clubs.

Everton chief Roberto Martinez is an Ince admirer and could have money if he makes a sale. He tried and failed for him at Wigan last season.

Ince has also told pals that he is aware of Everton’s ­interest, another move that would appeal as it is close to his home on Merseyside.

Spurs are also known to be interested in the former Liverpool kid and could enter the bidding now that Garth Bale’s move to Real Madrid is within touching distance.

But the big push is coming from Newcastle as they look to sign a talented young English ­player after so many French recruits.
