Fans of West Ham will be happy to learn of a striker development as fresh reports about Danny Ings surface ahead of the January transfer window. The only thing more challenging than acquiring a first-rate striker is getting rid of a mediocre one.
Having signed 53 strikers since David Sullivan and the late David Gold took control 13 years ago, West Ham may have a better understanding of this than others.
Of course, not all have been failures, but the Hammers’ most recent two acquisitions, Gianluca Scamacca and Danny Ings, most definitely fall into that category. While opinions regarding Scamacca’s sale after just one season with West Ham were mixed, most fans have the same feelings for Ings.
Moyes informed Ferdinand that he desires a striker.
Last January, the Irons paid £15 million to Aston Villa for the aging striker. It’s also safe to argue that neither West Ham nor the player have benefited from the trade. When the forward enters a game, the majority of fans are irritated and want to see him sold.
In order to make room in the squad and comply with FFP laws regarding wages-to-turnover, West Ham must sell periphery players like Ings, as Hammers News recently revealed via our top source inside the club. This is necessary if the team hopes to make additions when the January transfer market begins next week.
Following the victory over Spurs, David Moyes informed Les Ferdinand that he was hoping to bring in a striker.
Fans will be thrilled with West Ham’s striker improvement.
The issue is that it’s not always simple to sell players like Ings, as was previously discussed in this piece.
However, when more Ings reports surface, fans will be pleased to see a striker development for West Ham.
Because Burnley and Southampton are reportedly in competition for Ings, according to GiveMeSport’s “transfer insider,” Dean Jones. For West Ham, that can only mean good things. because it was previously announced that Ings’ January return to Southampton would probably only be on loan. Jones has attested to the fact that this will happen.
Fresh reports about Ings surface.
However, his assertions that Burnley, a Premier League team and another of Ings’ previous clubs, is interested in signing him to aid in their relegation struggle alter the situation. Jones remarked, “I think the Burnley connections make some sense because that’s the caliber of club I’ve been expecting to show interest in him.”
Aside from that, though, I believe that any Championship club would be lucky to sign Ings on loan during the January transfer window. I am aware that West Ham is amenable to Ings departing in January. Let’s see, then. This might become possible if the Saints are sincere in their pursuit of Ings.
