Swansea City: Thomas Ince (Blackpool)
The Swans are in a safe mid-table position as we approach the halfway point of the season, however, manager Michael Laudrup is said to still be keen to strengthen come the turn of the year, and the man the Dane wants to take the South Wales outfit on to the next level is the undoubted star of the Championship in the form of the seasiders’ England Under-21 international.
