Ince has been impressed with the 26 year old who also weighed in with the opening goal against Villa.
Ince told the Daily Express: "Stephen has been unbelievable for us recently. He has given me a massive dilemma now after doing so well in midfield.
"I knew he could do that role, but he has been a total revelation.
"If I knew how good he was going to be in midfield then I might have been able to save myself a few quid in the transfer market.
"He can run, pass, tackle and shoot with both feet. He can do it all. I don't see why he can't become an international.
"Gareth Barry is a fantastic player, but Stephen outplayed him in midweek. He was by far the better player.
"There's no reason to me why he can't soon make the England squad."
