Southampton are interested in signing Danny Ings at the end of the season. Ings has struggled at West Ham, not being part of manager Graham Potter's plans, and has scored only five goals in 68 appearances. West Ham might be open to letting him go, and Southampton, likely to be in the Championship next season, could be a suitable destination for him. The opportunity to return to his former club might be exciting for him, and Southampton could provide him with regular playing time.

Danny Ings could move back to Southampton, depending on West Ham's acquisition of Evan Ferguson.

Southampton have been credited with an interest in Ings but would not pay anywhere near his Hammers salary and sources at St Mary’s have distanced themselves from a move for their one-time front-man.
