Danny Ings Doesn't Want To Drop To Championship Claim

The latest stories coming out of East London say that Danny Ings does not want to leave the Premier League and drop down a division, thus a return to Southampton is not on the cards, but is this his agent with a last throw of the dice to resurrect his top flight career.

According to insidefutbol,com Danny Ings is not interested in dropping out of the Premier League, they cite a story on The Athletic as their source.

The one thing that does not seem to be in doubt is that Ings has accepted that his time at West Ham is up, he has started just one Premier League game, back in November against his old club Burnley.

He has come off the bench on 9 occasions and the other 10 matches been an unused sub, so there are no questions about his fitness, he has amassed only 133 minutes of Premier League football with almost exactly half of those coming in that start at Turf Moor and hasn't registered as much as an assist let along a goal.

West ham want to get Ings off the books for the season, they are resigned to the fact that no one is going to match his wages at the London Stadium so it will be a loan deal.

But so far the queue outside their door has been limited to Championship clubs, although the latest report suggests that Wolves are now interested, but this sounds very much like the players agent leaking the story to try and drum up some interest for the forgotten man of the Premier League.
