Ings’ finishing looked ‘incredible’ in training

A fan told the journali𒁏st that the club still nee꧙d to sign a striker as Ollie Watkins is ‘missing too many chances’ and Ings ‘has not done too much’.

But 🦩Preece responded and was blown away by Ings’ finishing after watching two Aston Villa♚ training sessions during pre-season.

In the , he said: “Watkins cut a frustrated figure over in Oz, di🌠dn’t happen for him, it could quite easily click back into place. A big season for him given Qatar in November.

“I went to two training sessionsꦏ and Ings’ finishing was incredible, looks razor-sharp but hasn’t had mꦯuch to feed off.”

Ings managed seven goals and six assists in 30 Premier League games last season. And it’s a drop-off from the form that he showed at Southampton whic𝔍h earned him the move to Villa 🌠Park.

The English striker scored 12 goals the season before he made the switch and even bagged an impre🍸ssive 22 goals during the 2019-20 campaign.

The Villa striker will be hoping to rediscover his lethal sꦯcoring touch this season and if his finishing in training is anything to go by, it♕ could be a big season ahead for Ings.

The Midlands club br🎶ought him in to add more goals to the side so he will be hoping to step up.

Betweeꦏn Ings and Watkins, the duo only managed 1ౠ8 Premier League goals last season and Steven Gerrard will be hoping to improve on these numbers.

If both strikers start to find the back of the net more regularly, it will help Villa massively in their quest to push further up the✤ league and qualify for European football.
