Huddersfield are considering a second bid for Derby winger Tom Ince.

Huddersfield Town are getting ready to make a second bid for Derby County winger Tom Ince as his exit from Pride Park becomes increasingly likely.

Sky Sports reported earlier in June that the Terriers had a £7.2m bid for Ince rejected by the Rams, but the Sun say it will cost £10m to lure the 25-year-old away.

According to the Derby Telegraph, Huddersfield are now deciding whether they should match that asking price and smash their transfer record in the process.

Newcastle United are also understood to be interested in Ince and therefore the Yorkshire side may have have to act quickly if they don’t want to be beaten to his signature by a fellow newly promoted side.

David Wagner is busy building a squad ready to compete in the Premier League in 2017/18 after he guided the Terriers to promotion from the Championship via the playoffs.

Striker Laurent Depoitre became the German’s first summer signing when he joined from FC Porto and Wagner now has to decide if he wants Ince – who has played in the English top flight previously with Crystal Palace and Hull City – as well.
