Derby County are hopeful of landing Tom Ince from Hull City on a permanent basis.
Ince enjoyed a wonderful spell on loan at Derby during the second half of the season by scoring 11 goals in 18 appearances and as a result of his fine form, the Rams have made no secret of their desire to sign the 23-year old on a less temporary basis this summer.
However, Derby will have to splash the cash in order to be able to sign Ince as Hull manager Steve Bruce has already stated that the young winger remains part of his plans at the club as the Tigers prepare for life in the Championship next season.
