Saints Inquire About Liverpool Striker
According to latest reports, this time from the Daily Star Saints have joined Tottenham in contacting Liverpool about Danny Ings.
Saints have been linked with Southampton born Danny Ings before,in the summer of 2015 they tried to sign him from Burnley but the call of Liverpool was too much and he opted to move to Anfield instead.
Things didn't go well for him there and he was injured in training and missed the rest of the season, he returned but early in the following season he again picked up a serious injury .
So in his three seasons with Liverpool he has only played 14 Premier League games, basically at the start and the end of his tenure, although he has hit three goals, including one in a 2-2 draw at West Brom at the end of the 2017/18 season showing he still has an eye for goal.
Now it seems his career at Anfield is coming to an end with Liverpool adding to their attacking options this summer which will put him further down the pecking order.
But Saints and indeed Spurs will also face opposition from Crystal Palace and Ing's old club Burnley for his signature.
But Saints will hope that the lure of returning to his home town club will appeal to Ing's above Palace and indeed Spurs who would not perhaps offer him the game time he would get at St Mary's, however the attraction of a move back to Burnley and Europa League football might trump all the offers.
