Bentley is determined to leave Ewood Park and Ince believes Swedish midfielder Larsson fits the bill, according to The Daily Express.

Ince has slapped a £17m price tag on Bentley and will use the cash from the transfer to reinvest in the team.

Target: Paul Ince has set his sights on Birmingham City's Sebastian Larsson.

Newcastle are also interested Larsson and are understood to have had a £3.5m offer rejected by Birmingham.

City manager Alex McLeish is desperate for Larsson to stay at the Championship club and help them bounce back to the Barclays Premier League at the first attempt.

However a source close to Larsson said last night: 'His agent has made it clear to Birmingham that he wants to be in the Premier League next season and there are four or five clubs interested in him.'
