Leeds United and West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing Liverpool striker Danny Ings in the January transfer window.

According to ESPN, Leeds United are interested in signing Danny Ings from Liverpool in the January transfer window.

Leeds are reported to believe that Ings could hold the key to their potential Premier League return.

The West Yorkshire outfit are aiming to finish in the top six of the Championship this season and stand a chance of getting promoted to the top fight of English football.

Ings is only just coming back from a long-term injury and is playing for the Liverpool Under-23 side at the moment.

While playing for Leeds would be tempting for the 25-year-old, the problem that the Whites now face is that West Ham United have (reportedly) joined the race.

According to The Sun, Liverpool will let Ings go out on loan and West Ham want him for the second half of the season.

The Hammers could do with a striker in the January transfer window, and playing in the Premier League would only help Ings recover his full fitness and show Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp what he is capable of.

At this moment in time, West Ham in the Premier League is more attractive that Leeds in the Championship, and if he has a choice between the two clubs, then Ings is likely to choose the Hammers.
