According to reports from Mirror Football yesterday evening, Liverpool have won the race to sign Burnley striking prodigy Danny Ings.
A return of ten goals and four assists in 33 Premier League appearances for the Turf Moor outfit this season, after firing them to promotion from the Championship with 21 goals last term, has generated interest from some of England’s top clubs – and a few from abroad – ahead of the summer window.
Indeed, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, David Moyes’ Real Sociedad, Dutch side Ajax and Bundesliga outfit Schalke were all believed to be in the mix for the 23 year-old’s signature, who is set to leave Sean Dyche’s side under the bosman ruling at the end of the season.
That will see his next club surrender just £3million-£5million in a compensation agreement, and according to Mirror Football that club will be Liverpool.
They attempted to sign the striker in January at a cost of £4million and loan him back to The Clarets for the remainder of the season, until it was deemed prohibited by FA law.
But now the Reds have their man – which will be seen as the first step in reshuffling a strike-force of Rickie Lambert, Dnaiel Sturridge, Mario Balotelli and Fabio Borini that have scored just eight Premier League goals between them this season.
The dippers are welcome to him. Not United class
