TOM Ince has turned down a switch to Italian giants Inter Milan.
The free agent, whose contract with Blackpool expires this summer, had looked set to join the club his dad Paul played for in the mid 1990s.
But Ince, who spent the second half of last season on loan to Crystal Palace, says he'd prefer a move to the Premier League.
The 22-year-old said: "After lengthy discussions with my family I have decided that my immediate future in the game lies in the Premier League.
"I am flattered to have received such strong interest from several big European clubs. But I believe at this early stage of my career I need to continue my football education in England."
It is unlikely Ince will join Palace on a premanent deal, as the form of Jason Puncheon and Yannick Bolasie restricted his starting opportunities under Tony Pulis.
The Eagles have also been linked with a move to re-sign Wilfried Zaha, to bolster their wing options.
Instead, Ince could move to Spurs or Newcastle, according to some reports.
