What Danny Ings has been doing behind the scenes to turn his situation around at West Ham
Danny Ings was the hero for West Ham on Saturday after netting a late equaliser.
The England international popped up in the 95th minute to se🍒cure a point for t🅺he Hammers, as Julen Lopetegui watched his side draw 1-1 at Craven Cottage.
It has been far from a successful stint at West Ham for Danny Ings following his £15m move from Aston Villa in January 2023 – scoring just five goals in 54 appearances – but the strik𝔍er has been working hard to improve his fortunes…
Danny Ings takes responsibility for poor goalscoring return at West Ham
A story from now shares ⛄what the 32-year-old has been doing behind the scenes.
It is sa🤪id that Ings embarked on a training camp in Ibiza before pre-season at Rush Green officially began, aimin✱g to give himself a head start before the 2024/25 campaign and ensure he is in a condition to be of use to Lopetegui this season.
The West Ham No.18 has only been given 13 minutes of Pr𝕴emier League ac🐈tion to prove himself this season despite his hard work over the summer, but admirably took full advantage of his eight minutes against Fulham, after playing five minutes of the 2-1 loss against Aston Villa.
Interestingly, The Athletic add that Ings, who West Ham wanted to sell in the summer, scored a hat-trick in a 💝friendly against Dagenham & Redbridge during the international break.
Clearly, the man from Winchester is 💦motivated to become a key man at West Ham this season, despite a very slow start to life in east London.
Julen Lopetegui will be kicking himself regardless
While we hope Ings can return to his form of old – which saw him score 22 Premier League goals for S🎃outhampton in the 2019/20 campaign – Lopetegui will surely regret not pushing harder to sign Jhon Duran from Aston Villa during the summer.
As was well documented, West Ham made several bids for Duran – up to £35m – but decided against meeting the £40m askingꦰ price, despite the Colombia international w💎anting to join.
As things stand, the South American is the talk of the Premier League after scoring three goals in four appearances so f🍷ar this season, all of which have been winning strikes from the bench.
Duran – who is only 20 – now looks set to become🦹 a big name in English football, so we highly doubt Asto𒅌n Villa would still entertain a £40m sale.
