Proven Premier League striker Danny Ings linked up with West Ham United in January 2023, when he joined from Aston Villa.
The Hampshire-born striker scored regularly for AFC Bournemouth, Burnley, Liverpool, Southampton and Villa, registering nearly 125 career goals and hitting the net for England in a friendly win over Wales at Wembley in October 2020.
An efficient and intelligent player with impressive technical ability, Ings’ work-rate and determination mean he also excels at regaining possession in the final third and running with the ball at his feet.
