Danny Ings Completes Move To St Mary's

According to the Liverpool Echo Danny Ings has now completed his move to Saints after his initial season on loan, making it a double day of incoming signings.

It hasn't been announced officially by Saints yet, but according to the Liverpool Echo who presumably know a thing or two about Liverpool Football Club, Danny ings has now completed the signing of the deal that will make his initial one year loan period permanent.

It seems that once again it is all about that July 1st contract date that means that it was financially attractive for the player to be a Liverpool player when he woke up this morning and various contractual bonus's became due and having received those he will go to sleep tonight officially a full time player for his home town club.

The news is set to be announced soon and Saints have possibly delayed the announcement due to their signing of Che Adams this morning.

Again good news for the club and Ings 7 Premier League goals was still a reasonable total given his injuries and if he can stay fit in the coming season his ability to not only score goals but bring others into play by creating space and chances for others will surely be a big asset.

The Liverpool Echo are quoting the deal as being worth £18 million up front with a possible £2 million in add ons and a 20% sell on clause.

Ings was well rated on Merseyside and loved by the Liverpool fans, only injury prevented him establishing himself and by the time he was fully fit again others had joined the club and were ahead in the pecking order.

The sell on clause shows that Liverpool feel that he might yet have a big money move in him.

What to read next:

Hull Awaydaze
This season’s trip to Hull City is on Saturday, with a rare kick off at 3pm. You’ll find the stadium now known as the MKM a mile or so to the west of Hull city centre.
Fatigue or Fortune? Leeds Held to Draw by Resilient Blackburn
It was a disappointing end to the holiday season as Leeds took most of the game to break down a stubborn Blackburn Rovers side, and then allowed our opponents to grab a late equaliser. It won’t be a game that will live long in the memory.
Top of the Table: Leeds finish 2024 at the summit after Stunning Team Goal!
Once again we dominated the possession in an away game, but struggled to make it count. That was before a superb team goal in the 79th minute finally broke through the Derby County defence, and that proved to be enough to ensure that we finish 2024 on top of the Championship table.
Farke Seeks Improvement Despite Comfortable Win in the Fog
Even though we went back to the top of the table Daniel Farke thought we should have won more comfortably, but we were more than good enough to beat a woeful Stoke City. For the third time in 2024 a Leeds win cost an opposing manager his job, after Narcis Pelach was called in to collect his P45 yesterday morning.
Derby Awaydaze
Our first visit to Derby County four five years is at 5.45pm tomorrow, which has of course been dictated by Sky Sports. We’re not famous any more!
Stoke Awaydaze
Our visit to Stoke City is on Boxing Day evening, with kick-off at 8pm, having been put back by our very good friends at Sky Sports.
From Frustration to Relief: Leeds United Equalise in Dramatic Final Moments
We should have been playing against ten men for over half this game, but in the end Leeds had to be content with a point after forcing a very late equaliser against Preston North End.
Preston Awaydaze
Our visit to Deepdale is on Saturday, with a 12.30pm kick off, and once again we’re live on Sky Sports. As the name Preston North End suggests, the stadium is a mile or so to the north of the town centre.
Leeds keep home run going against lively Middlesbrough
This time we were made to work hard for our home win, but two late goals proved to be enough to take the points against Middlesbrough.
Leeds ease to comfortable win over Derby
The game played out as most of the fans on both sides would have predicted, apart from the identity of the two goalscorers. It took a while for us to break down a stubborn Derby County defence, but once we had scored the two goals there was only going to be one way this game was going to finish.
