Julian Speroni says TOM INCE should re-sign for Crystal Palace.

The former Blackpool winger is out of contract after his half-season loan stint at Palace expired last month.

The 22-year-old turned down a chance to follow in his father Paul's footsteps and sign for Inter Milan, stating his desire to play in the Premier League.

Although he netted on his Palace debut against West Bromwich in February, INCE played a bit-part role as Tony Pulis preferred Yannick Bolasie and Jason Puncheon in the wing.

However, Eagles stopper Speroni saw enough talent in the England U21 international to believe he is worth taking back.

Speroni said: "He’s a fantastic player and I hope he can stay and we can carry on what we started when he first came. He’s a great player, he's got the potential and the chance to prove himself.

"I think he can show a lot, lot more. And that’s what I saw in training every single day from him. So I hope stays and he show us what he can do."

Newcastle, Hull, Swansea, Stoke and Sunderland are among the clubs interested in INCE who played eight times for Palace.
