Derby County are set to complete a £5.75 million deal to sign Hull City winger Tom Ince in the summer, according to the Sun.

Ince has been on loan at the Rams for the second half of this season, and he has become a key part of Steve McClaren’s side.

The former Blackpool star has amassed an impressive ten goals in 16 appearances for Derby County since joining, and he now looks set to make that loan deal permanent in the summer.

The 23-year-old midfielder has a plethora of experience of plying his trade in the Football League, having had spells at Notts County, Blackpool, Crystal Palace, Hull City, Nottingham Forest and Derby County.

Steve McClaren’s side are well in the promotion mix in the Sky Bet Championship, with the outfit currently sitting in fifth place in the division, having accumulated 76 points from 44 league games.

Ince is seemingly surplus to requirements at Steve Bruce’s Hull City, thus allowing Derby County leverage to complete a deal for the player.
