Blackpool winger Thomas Ince is weighing up Premier League offers this week.
The Daily Mail says Ince held talks with Stoke City on Tuesday.
Blackpool's England U21 international has discussed a potential loan with Swansea and Crystal Palace and talks are also planned with Sunderland and Hull.
Blackpool have sanctioned a loan move with a view to a permanent deal at the end of the season.
An English club would still need to pay a hefty compensation fee in the millions if recruiting Ince at the end of his contract, whereas European sides could snatch him for as little as £155,000.
