Brighton midfielder Rohan Ince is being chased by a host of top-flight clubs ahead of a potential summer move . Liverpool , Newcastle , West Ham and West Brom have all had the 6ft 3in midfielder scouted in games in recent months . The 22-year-old is a former youth player at Chelsea , having joined the club aged seven and coming through their academy before failing to make the senior team . Rohan Ince is wanted by a host of clubs including Liverpool , Newcastle , West Ham and West Brom . However , since his move to Brighton in 2013 his stock has soared and , under former boss Oscar Garcia , he was awarded the club ’ s Young Player of the Year trophy in his first season . It was Garcia who converted him from a centre-back into a defensive midfielder . Under Sami Hyypia he struggled for games but has since been brought back into the fold by current manager Chris Hughton . ‘ There is no doubt he has ability , ’ Hughton said last month . ‘ He is a physical player as well . He can give us something on set plays . Garcia converted from a centre-back into a defensive midfielder under former Brighton boss Oscar Garcia . ‘ When you are as big as Rohan you know he has the ability to get on the end of set plays . He also likes to break from midfield . ‘ He has an athleticism about him and his past was playing a little bit deeper , so he is always going to be seen as that more defensive type of player . ‘ In a team with good footballers it gives him an opportunity to improve his game on the ball . At this moment he has been playing and he 'll look to keep developing. ’ But Brighton could struggle to keep hold of Ince in the summer with his contract moving into its final year in June . If Liverpool were to win the race to sign him , he would be the third member of the Ince family to play at Anfield after his second cousin Tom Ince and his father Paul .
