Tom Ince is yet to agree a move to Inter Milan[GETTY]Ince spent two years living in Italy when father Paul was playing for Inter in the the mid-90s and has fond memories of that time in his life.
The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Nerazzurri and has held talks with the club, but is yet to finalise anything.
"I'm not an Inter player yet," Tom Ince said to Sky Italia. "I'm very happy to be here two or three days in the meantime.
"Inter is a fantastic squad and Italy is a great country, where I have many fond memories.
"I remember the San Siro with affection, players like (Javier) Zanetti, (Massimo) Paganin and (Aron) Winter.
"We lived in Como. It's marvellous to be here at 22."
Ince spent the second half of the season on loan at Crystal Palace and while the Eagles would like to keep him around, he is also a reported target of Monaco and Everton.
"I'm young, English, a winger, a fun player to watch," he said. "Inter are changing, they have new young players and a new owner.

"(Inter president Erick) Thohir has told me that there are changes taking place, that he wants to return Inter to being big, to win in Italy and in Europe, to take them back to the level of great clubs on and off the pitch.
"This is fantastic for me."
Meanwhile, Ince snr. says that whilst he is struck by the way things are panning out, he hasn't made any promises about Tom's next club.
"This is an incredible story," he said. "It's incredible Tom is here at 22, he was five back then.
"I spent a beautiful time here.
"For me Inter is love, the fans transmit passion.
"The important thing for Tom is to be here today, to see the training ground, get to know the stadium and the city.
"Then we will go back home and take a decision.
"I'm here now for my son, I think we will know more in a couple of weeks."
