Inter Milan are hoping to complete the signing of English winger Tom Ince by the end of this week.

The 22-year-old, whose contract with Blackpool expires this month, has an offer to join the Nerazzurri outfit.

Ince arrived in Milan on Sunday with his father Paul, who played two seasons at Inter almost two decades ago, to discuss a possible move to the San Siro outfit.

When asked if the deal had been completed, Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio said on the club's official website: "It's still early.

"The player came to Milan because he wanted to have a look at everything for himself.

"We made the most of the weekend that he decided to spend in Milan with his family.

"We've laid some foundations, now we'll see if we're able to close the deal over the coming days."

Ince spent the second half of this season on loan at Crystal Palace and is also a reported target of Monaco and Everton.

Inter would only have to pay a nominal compensation fee to Blackpool for Ince.

Should they fail to lure Ince to Milan, the Italian media claim the Nerazzurri would then make an approach for Tottenham winger Erik Lamela.

Lamela moved to the London outfit last summer from Roma in a £30million transfer deal but has failed to impress in his first season in the Premier League.

The 22-year-old made only three league starts and missed the second half of the campaign through injury.

When asked about Lamela, Ausilio said: "I don't usually name names, we have a lot of work to do."

Serie A leaders Juventus ended a difficult week with another 2-0 triumph, prevailing at AC Milan on Sunday after flying back from Turkey, where they had won by the same margin at Trabzonspor AŞ in the UEFA Europa League.

Seedorf's side looked to be in control in the first half, but the visitors broke the deadlock a minute before the break through Fernando Llorente, and added another when Carlos Tévez scored his 14th league goal of the season after 68 minutes. "It would take a tank to beat this Juve," said Rossoneri coach Clarence Seedorf. "Let's hope we don't meet any panzers, then," replied Juventus coach Antonio Conte with a smile.

Tévez's powerful long-range shot earned him praise from Gianluigi Buffon. "His goal was amazing, and it is not the first one he has scored like that," said the goalkeeper. "Certainly, we could breathe a bit easier after that – we took our chances but we also had a bit of luck tonight." The 30-year-old Argentinian is now the joint top scorer in Serie A, and the Rossoneri may regret not having signed Tévez in January 2012 when a deal seemed imminent.

"It wasn't easy today," Conte concluded. "Let's say Milan were like half a tank – they had enthusiasm and they played with a very high tempo in the first half. We had some problems, then Llorente scored and we changed our tactics during the break. Some say that Milan are not as strong a side as they once were, but if you look at my first two years at Juve, we got a draw and a loss against them at San Siro, so it wasn't easy at all."

With second-placed AS Roma 11 points behind them – albeit with a game in hand – following 0-0 against FC Internazionale Milano, and SSC Napoli a further six points back in third, it is hard to imagine Juventus missing out on a third successive title. "For sure, 11 points is a good lead," said Buffon. "But still, I don't underestimate Roma, especially because we are still in Europe and they are not, so sooner or later we might pay in terms of fitness problems."

Conte knows that is a concern. "Everything went fine for us in the league, but there are players who have never been rested, like [Leonardo] Bonucci, or [Paul] Pogba, who only had a two-week break in the summer after playing in the FIFA U-20 World Cup, so I am staying alert," the former Italy midfielder noted. "We have an 11-point margin, but there's still a long road ahead. It would be something special to win a third Scudetto in a row."
