Michael Laudrup has been given the go-ahead for a double January swoop – with chairman Huw Jenkins admitting Tom Ince could be a New Year Swansea City target.

Swans boss Laudrup will aim to strengthen his squad when the transfer window re-opens in six weeks' time, with Jenkins claiming there is a possibility of bringing two new faces to the Liberty Stadium.

And Blackpool wideman Ince could yet be one of those after Jenkins confirmed a desire to re-open negotiations for a deal for the 21-year-old.

Swansea have been keen on Ince in the past but pulled out of a potential move in the summer having baulked at Blackpool's £8m asking price.

Rivals Cardiff City had agreed to pay the full fee for the England Under 21 international, only to see the transfer collapse when Ince failed to agree personal terms.

Jenkins, who at the time insisted he was 'staggered' by the price tag, has now indicated Swansea are likely to resurrect their interest as Laudrup looks to add wide options to a squad still competing in both the Premier League and in Europe.

Ince is out of contract at Bloomfield Road in the summer meaning the Tangerines could be likely to drop their valuation, and Jenkins told the Daily Mail: "He (Ince) is a very good young player and one we looked at in the summer.

“I would say it is likely that we will be talking to Blackpool again. I know their chairman, Karl Oyston, and when the time is right we will make contact and see what can be done."

Jenkins also confirmed that a second player would be targeted “most likely to act as cover for defence or midfield.”

However Jenkins insisted there would be no loan move for Manchester United's Wilfried Zaha who has also been linked with a Liberty move.
