What Danny Ings thinks about leaving West Ham on deadline day as Southampton show interest

West Ham could be set for a manic final day of the summer transfer window, and Danny Ings is one such player who could lead today.

Ings has been rumoured with an exit from West Ham for the majority of the window, with the former Aston Villa attacker seemingly not part of Julen Lopetegui’s plans with the new Irons manager signing Nic🐷las Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund.

With Southampton now showing interest in signing Ings, a return to St. Mary’s could be on the cards for Ings, with the Sain♏tsꦡ the last club where the former Liverpool star really showed his quality in the Premier League.

Yet there𒀰 could be a potential problem in a potential deal for the 32-year-old striker.

Ings wants London stay as Southampton plot deadline day swoop

According to , Ings wants to remain in London, with the England international in no rush to leave West Ham despite 🍸early signs suggesting that the attacker will play no part this season under Lopetegui.

At 32-years-old, it makes sense why Ings is keen to remain in the 🍨English capital and to avoid another cross-country move, even if it’s to a club like Southampton where the attacker has enjoyed success in the past.

Indeed, Ings’ career is at a delicate point where the forward is clearly good enough to still be playing in the Premier League yet has forced himself into 📖a box that will make a move today away from West Ham difficult.

And for Southampton, they might need to do all they can to test Ings to return to the English south coast, with the striker an ideal signing for Russell Martin♑’s side this deadline day.

Ings really needs to consider leaving West Ham for Saints return

Ings’ logic behind wanting to stay in London is sound give൩n his age and where he’s at in his career, yet if the striker wants to leave a lasting impact, a return to Southampton is the best possible move today.

As we know, Ings was a massive hit in Southampton as the attacker won England call-ups a🐭nd established himself as one of the best goalscorers in 💝the Premier League for a number of seasons.

And with no future at West Ham, a return to St, Mary’s just makes sense for Ings, who could relish under Martin and with the g♉oal of trying to keep Southampﷺton up in the Premier League.
