Danny Ings could still be an option for Moyes

David Moyes would need to come close to Southampton’s £30m asking price if he wants to sign Danny Ings, the 29-year-old striker is also said want a five-year contract and personal terms of at least £125,000 per week to sign for a new club. He is currently reported to earn £75,000 per week on his current deal on the south coast.

The Southampton striker is into the final year of his current deal at St Mary’s, and was presented with a package that would have made him the highest-paid player in the Saint’s history but he opted to knock it back.  Ings rejected Southampton’s offer as he wants to move to a top six club the Athletic claimed.

He has been linked to the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United but none of them has made a formal move for him as yet.

He has also been heavily linked to Spurs who finished outside the top six but Levy is said to be concerned over his wage demands within their strict wage structure

Ings scored 12 goals in 29 Premier League games last season. In total, Ings has netted 46 goals in 100 appearances for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side.

If a Manchester club doesn’t come for Ings maybe Moyes could make a late bid for the proven forward with Southampton perhaps prepared to lower their price to £25mor less to avoid their striker leaving for free next summer.
