Leicester reportedly enquired after Liverpool’s Danny Ings last summer.
Liverpool’s Danny Ings
Danny Ings is looking to bounce back from a second serious knee injury and has not given up on his Liverpool dream.
The former Burnley striker’s spell at Anfield has been beset by bad luck, and despite his desire to flourish at Anfield, he faces a battle for first team football.
Just one more striker signed by Liverpool this summer would severely hamper his chances of playing time, in a crucial career as he looks to get back on track.
The Mail report that Leicester City enquired after his signature last summer, and the Foxes should renew their efforts to bring him in.
Liverpool’s Danny Ings
Ings has proven Premier League pedigree, and is just the type of striker Leicester need as they bid to ease reliance on 30-year-old Jamie Vardy.
Ahmed Musa is set for an exit just one year after joining Leicester, while doubts remain over the futures of Islam Slimani and Leonardo Ulloa.
Ings is just 24 and fits the mould of a young talented British player who Leicester can build around, like new centre-back signing Harry Maguire.
Liverpool’s Danny Ings has a shot at goal
He netted 11 goals for strugglers Burnley in his debut Premier League campaign and has a style similar to Vardy in his ability to press defenders and not give up on lost causes.
His Liverpool career isn’t a lost cause yet and Ings deserves credit for wanting to stick it out and give it one last shot, but he is at the mercy of the club’s transfer plans, and Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to want to rely on him.
Leicester would present a smart route out of Anfield if he can be convinced he faces a better chance of first team football.
