TOM Ince says he is "definitely not" ruling out a summer move on a permanent basis to Crystal Palace.
The winger has had to watch the likes of Jason Puncheon and Yannick Bolasie start in Tony Pulis' side despite impressing on his debut with a goal and assist back on February 8 against West Bromwich Albion.
Pulis has gone on record stating he would like to keep Ince beyond his current loan deal from Blackpool, but he has also been linked with moves in the United Kingdom and abroad.
"I have had a bit of a long season being up and down," said Ince.
"I just want to do what every footballers does and put their feet up and go on holiday.
"I'll come back in June, see what my options are there for me. I have just got to pick the right one for me.
"I have enjoyed my time at Crystal Palace. The players, the staff and the fans have been phenomenal for me.
"It's hard for a loan player to come in. You're not really a Palace player but if we manage to sit down in the summer, I'll have a chat with the chairman here.
"I am definitely not ruling Palace out. I know the feel and the team.
"It's not easy when you come into a team on loan, and if the players weren't great and you weren't playing, you can easily lose your head but these lads have been fantastic.
"The whole squad has been positive and you can see that in the games.
"When you've got a squad like that, where you feel welcome and you feel at home, there's always a positive vibe."
