Danny Ings has been linked with an exit from Liverpool and the striker could be just what rivals Everton need.
Danny Ings of Liverpool is chased down by Jordi Osei Tutu of Arsenal during the Premier League 2 match.
The future of Danny Ings as a Liverpool player has been cast into doubt by ESPN, who claim Leeds United are keen to swoop for the striker in January.
Ings has endured an injury-plagued time at Anfield since joining in 2015, playing just 12 first team games and scoring three goals having suffered two serious knee injuries.
Leicester City defender Aleksandar Dragovic (L) vies with Liverpool’s Danny Ings (R) during the English League Cup third round.
As a result the 25-year-old has fallen well down the pecking order under manager Jurgen Klopp and Leeds are hoping to revitalise the England international’s career in the Championship.
However, despite his fitness issues is Ings still too good to be dropping down to the second tier just yet? After all there are several Premier League teams that need a new forward.
One such side is just a short trip across Stanley Park at Everton. The Toffees have scored just four league goals in seven outings so far this season as they sit 16th in the table.
Ronald Koeman, manager of Everton, looks on during the UEFA Europa League group E match against Apollon Limassol.
The loss of topscorer Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United has been a big blow for boss Ronald Koeman and not only has the Belgian not been adequately replaced, but Oumar Niasse is the only out-and-out number nine at Goodison Park currently.
Deals directly between the two Merseyside rivals are rare but have happened and would certainly be more likely with a less high profile transfer such as this. Ings may only have 13 strikes in 41 English top flight games but the talent is clearly there if he can stay fit.
