Danny Ings: West Ham sign striker from Aston Villa for £15m transfer fee | Football News

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 18th in the table, just ahead of Everton – who they face this weekend – and Southampton 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.

Hammers considering sacking Moyes if Everton lose

West Ham are considering replacing manager David Moyes if they lose at home to Everton on Saturday.

Moyes is under pressure with his side having picked up just one point from their past seven league games.

While it is acknowledged Moyes has done a good job, much more was expected after West Ham spent £160m in last summer’s transfer window.

They are 18th and only goal difference is keeping them off the bottom of the Premier League table.

In the past two seasons, West Ham have finished seventh and sixth under Moyes.
