West Ham have completed the signing of striker Danny Ings from Aston Villa, with the Hammers paying around £15m for the England international.
Ings joins the London club from Villa, where he scored six Premier League goals in 18 games this season, and adds further competition to the Hammers’ front line alongside Gianluca Scamacca and Michail Antonio.
West Ham have scored only 15 goals in 19 league games this term, with their form in front of goal a major factor behind their Premier League struggles. They sit 19th in the table, only ahead of bottom-side Everton – who they face this weekend – on goal difference.
Ings, 30, moved to Villa from Southampton for £25m in 2021, but never hit the same heights at Villa Park as he had at St Mary’s. Despite that, the three-cap England forward still scored 14 goals in 52 games for the Villans in all competitions.
