# Reds set to pocket windfall

**Liverpool** will collect **£560,000** after Blackpool agreed a fee of £1.6m with Hull City for Tom Ince’s move to the Tigers.

Ince joined **Hull** in the summer after his contract expired at Bloomfield Road, but because he is under the age of 23, the Seasiders were due compensation.

Liverpool negotiated a sell-on clause when the winger left Merseyside in **2011**, enabling them to pick up **35%** of his next transfer sum.

Hull and Blackpool struck a deal on Wednesday night, with the **£1.6m** figure potentially rising to £2.3m based on appearances and the Tigers remaining in the Premier League.

Ince, son of ex-Liverpool skipper Paul, made just **one appearance** for the Reds – in their League Cup penalty shootout loss against **Northampton** Town in September 2010.

In his first season at **Blackpool**, Ince made 41 appearances, scoring eight goals.

He further improved during 2012-13 – scoring 18 league goals before going to the UEFA Under-21 European Championship with England.

Despite being linked with a return to Anfield on several occasions, Ince remained with **Blackpool** until January 2014 when he moved on loan to **Crystal Palace**.

He rarely figured for Hull early this season, so Ince moved to **Nottingham Forest** on loan before being recalled to the KC Stadium in December.
