Swansea are reportedly looking to sign a striker. They should make a move for Liverpool’s Danny Ings.
After Swansea City’s 4-0 defeat against Manchester United last Saturday, Paul Clement made it clear that he will delve into the transfer market to bolster the squad.
Clement has money to spend after the Welsh club sold star player Gylfi Sigurdsson for £45 million to Everton.
According to reports from Wales Online, a striker and an attacking midfielder remain Clement’s top priority as the Swans look to fill the void of a player who scored nine goals and created 13 more last season.
Signing a top striker at this stage of the transfer window will not be easy. Plus, the Swans may have to pay over the odds given the inflated nature of the market.
With this in mind, Swansea must make a loan move for Liverpool striker Danny Ings.
The former Burnley striker is a very good centre-forward, a reason why he is at Anfield in the first place, but his injury record is a cause for concern.
He joined the Reds in 2015 but he suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season.
After returning to fitness, just when it looked like he is all set to play a big part in Jurgen Klopp’s team, he suffered a serious knee injury.
He is a player Klopp has spoken highly of from time to time, but he needs to prove his fitness.
Klopp can call the services of Roberto Firmino, Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi and Dominic Solanke, and therefore can allow Ings to go out on loan and rediscover his form by playing regularly.
If he can keep himself fit, goals are bound to come from him. His move is risky, but could turn into a masterstroke signing.
