Liverpool have decided that they will keep Daniel Sturridge and will loan out Danny Ings in news that will encourage West Ham United.

According to a report from the Daily Mirror, Liverpool have decided that they will look to keep Daniel Sturridge during the January transfer window as they want sufficient cover as they plan to let Danny Ings leave on loan.

Both Ings and Sturridge have endured frustrating seasons for the Reds, with the pair making just 11 Premier League appearances between them this term, with the latter the only one to have appeared in a starting lineup in the top flight in that time.

The Mirror reports that both forwards would be keen to leave Anfield on a temporary basis next month, but as Jurgen Klopp feels that Ings would particularly benefit from a loan exit, Sturridge will have to rely on a team offering £30 million to sign him permanently if he wants to move away in January.

The news is certainly set to provide a boost for West Ham, who the Mirror reports are keen on signing Ings in January, as it appears that it is highly likely that he will be on the move.

The 25-year-old has been prolific for the under-23 side since he returned from injury, so it is not surprising that David Moyes is keen on landing him as the Hammers look to keep themselves away from the bottom three in the top flight.

Both Liverpool and West Ham face sides around them in their next game, with the Reds travelling to the Emirates Stadium on Friday night, while the Irons host fellow strugglers Newcastle United at the London Stadium the next day.
