Danny Ings’ time at West Ham United has been marked by frustration, and speculation surrounding his departure has been rampant. Despite reports suggesting that he was close to leaving East London, no official approaches have been made for the 31-year-old striker.
According to Roshane Thomas of The Athletic, West Ham has yet to receive any offers for Ings, who has struggled to make an impact since joining the club. Southampton had been linked with a move to bring Ings back to St Mary’s, but sources close to the club have distanced themselves from those reports.
With Julen Lopetegui keen to add to his striking options, Ings’ future at West Ham looks increasingly uncertain. The Hammers have been linked with a move for Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran, who is seen as a leading candidate to fill the void at the top of the pitch.
As it stands, Ings’ chances of playing a significant role under Lopetegui appear slim. However, the manager may be forced to reconsider his options if no suitable offers arrive for the striker. For now, Ings remains a West Ham player, and Lopetegui will have to find a role for him in his side.
The transfer window is expected to heat up in the coming days, with the Copa America and Euros set to conclude. West Ham fans will be eagerly awaiting news of any potential arrivals, while Ings will be hoping that someone comes in for him soon.
In other news, West Ham target Tammy Abraham is reportedly set for a summer exit, with a formal offer made for his services. The Hammers will be keen to strengthen their attacking options, and Abraham could be a viable option.
As the transfer saga unfolds, one thing is certain – Danny Ings’ future at West Ham United remains uncertain. Will he stay and fight for his place, or will he depart in search of pastures new? Only time will tell.
