Tottenham could bid for Southampton’s Danny Ings in the summer
Ings impressing
Danny Ings joined Southampton on a permanent basis in the summer of 2019.
The Saints are understood to have paid Liverpool just shy of £20m for the hitman.
And this fee has since proven to be a real bargain, with Ings having cemented himself as one of the Premier League’s top forwards.
Last season saw Ings rack up a hefty 22 goals in 38 league outings.
And though the 28-year-old has since been hampered by fitness issues this campaign, he has nevertheless continued to impress when available.
In 13 league outings, Ings has managed to net seven and provide three assists, with the latest of his strikes having secured a 1-0 win for Southampton over Premier League champions Liverpool two weeks ago:

Tottenham linked with Ings
With Ings in such fine form, Southampton will no doubt be desperate to maintain his services for as long as possible.
The hitman, however, has less than 18 months remaining on his current deal at St. Mary’s.
And, as per a recent report from Eurosport, after being expected to pen a new contract late last year, Ings is now stalling.
The same report, meanwhile, credits Tottenham with an interest in his signature.
It is suggested that Spurs are keen to explore whether Ings is indeed seriously considering his future, and, if so, preparing a bid for the summer window.
