Signing Danny Ings could be just what West Ham need. He's not a particularly sexy signing but the 30-year-old is a proven goalscorer. He has scored every three games throughout his career and averaged close to one every two game for Burnley. A move to Liverpool was ruined by an ACL injury and then a bad knee injury to his other leg. But with the aid of careful rehabilitation and Pilates he flourished at Southampton scoring 41 goals in 91 games. The Saints fans were incensed when he left. Seventeen months ago Aston Villa paid £30m for him and despite being deemed surplus to requirements by Dick Emery he scored 13 in 49 games and has bagged six this season. He's scored 122 goals in his career and with Antonio looking his age and Scamacca struggling we need his poaching. Strangely enough Ings will now have played for all three clubs to play in the PL in claret and blue — Burnley, Villa and West Ham. Even at £12 (£15m if WHU stay up) he could prove to be an astute signing.
