According to a recent report by EuroSport, Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur is lining up a summer transfer move for the English attacker.

However, ExWHUemployee has recently claimed on Patreon that the Irons are also ‘monitoring’ the situation of the striker (via Hammers News).

With until the summer of 2022 on his existing deal at St. Mary’s Stadium, Ings currently has a market value of £18m according to Transfermarkt.

In the latest episode of The Athletic’s U Irons podcast, Thomas discussed a situation in which he believed David Moyes’ side could beat other Premier League teams to the signing of Ings.

Who did West Ham United face in their opening fixture of the 2020/21 Premier League season?

He said: “Ings would be an absolutely brilliant signing, I’m a massive fan of Danny Ings.

“If West Ham could get a top eight, top six [finish], dare I say it? That deal could happen. I can’t see why that deal couldn’t happen. We’ll have more money in the summer due to finishing higher in the league.

“Danny Ings will look at it and be like, ‘Hey, Moyes is doing a fantastic job at West Ham, they have European football for next season, why not go there? I’m not going to be the main man at Tottenham because that’s Harry Kane’s team; I’m not going to be the main man at Man City because that’s Raheem Sterling’s team, Kevin De Bruyne and so on.

“Not going to be the main man at Chelsea because they have about 10 strikers.”

So far this term, the Englishman has bagged an impressive tally of seven goals and three assists over 13 appearances in the top flight (per WhoScored).

His 7.17/10 average rating has also made him the third-best-performing player in Southampton’s squad, so, his ability is clear to see.

However, even if West Ham do finish in the top eight, that may not be enough as The Telegraph has claimed that the striker wants to sign for a Champions League club.
