Well, Aston Villa are set to sell Danny Ings to West Ham United.
According to Sky Sports, the Hammers have agreed a £15 million fee with Villa for the former Liverpool marksman.
West Ham are 18th in the Premier League table and without goals, the prospect of relegation is very serious indeed.
But Darren Bent, a former Aston Villa striker, has reacted on Twitter to hearing his old club are set to sell Ings, claiming it’s a ‘solid signing’ for the Irons.
Is Ings enough for West Ham?
In 18 Premier League outings for Aston Villa this season, the England international has only managed the six goals.
He is a striker who will eat well if he is fed well, but is he going to get better service at West Ham than Villa Park?
Under Steven Gerrard and Unai Emery this season, he has had the likes of Emi Buendia and Philippe Coutinho behind him, providing – or trying, in Coutinho’s case – the magic.
You could argue that his supporting cast at Aston Villa was stronger than he’ll find under David Moyes and therefore Bent’s guarantee that he’ll score goals isn’t entirely faultless.
