Leeds United are considering a January transfer swoop for Liverpool striker Danny Ings, according to ESPN.

Ings is working his way back to full sharpness and fitness after suffering two serious knee injuries since his 2015 move to Liverpool.

He played a key role to help Burnley win promotion to the Premier League in 2013/14 and finished as top scorer for the club when they were relegated the following year.

His Liverpool career has been stunted by injuries and this season he has played just 17 minutes of first team football, in the Carabao Cup defeat to Leicester.

ESPN report Leeds believe a move for Ings could be the missing part in their promotion jigsaw.

The report does not specifiy whether Leeds are eyeing a permanent or loan swoop, but the latter is most likely more appealing to the Liverpool striker who may not be totally ready to give up on his Anfield dream just yet.

Ings has been featuring mainly for Liverpool’s under-23s this season and Championship football may be a more realistic aim than playing in the Premier League on a regular basis.
