Stoke City are moving to trump Hull City for free agent Thomas Ince.
The off contract Blackpool winger met with Hull officials this week at the KC.
The Tigers held positive talks with Ince and his representatives earlier this week, but it is well known that the winger is prepared to keep his options open as he has 'unfinished business' in the Premier League.
And the Hull Daily Mail says it is a two-horse race between Hull; and Stoke for Ince's signature.
