Forgotten Liverpool striker set for MOMENTOUS Wrexham move
Danny Ings set for Championship move Danny Ings, who made 25 appearances for Liverpool's first team, left Merseyside in 2019 to join Southampton. During his time with the Saints Ings thrived, even earning a call up to the England squad, but the 32-year-old's career stuttered when he swapped Southampton for Aston Villa in 2021. Advertisement Ings has only managed to score 19 goals in 121 matches for Villa and West Ham since he left the south coast, but now the former Red may have a chance to revive his career. According to the Daily Mail, Championship newcomers Wrexham – famously owned by Hollywood duo Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds – are interested in bringing Ings in this summer, with the striker's contract at West Ham set to expire at the end of June. The report states that Wrexham's A-list owners are desperate to reach the Premier League and that they believe targeting experienced top-flight players will help them achieve that goal. Ings showed flashes of brilliance whilst at Liverpool, but if he can rediscover his Southampton form he will be a shrewd addition for the north Wales side. Advertisement The striker's current West Ham teammate, Aaron Cresswell, spent time in Liverpool's academy before moving to Tranmere aged 15 and is also named in the report as a player of interest for Wrexham. Cresswell has played over 300 Premier League matches and is also due to leave East London on a free transfer this summer.
