Palace eyeing up January move for Danny Ings

Crystal Palace have identified Danny Ings as a possible January target but face competition from Newcastle, Watford and Southampton.

The Mirror reports that the Reds are considering allowing the player leave on loan in January in an attempt to rebuild the player’s fitness levels after spending an extended period on the sidelines.

Knee injuries have meant game time has come few and far between for the former Burnley man, but Jurgen Klopp is a thought to be a huge fan of the player.

Ings has attracted interest from several teams in the Championship, but the player is believed to be keen on staying in the Premier League.

The striker is said to believe that a strong end to the season could see him have an outside chance of making Gareth Southgate’s squad for the World Cup in Russia next summer.

With Christian Benteke sidelined Roy Hodgson has been forced to play Wilfried Zaha as a makeshift striker as Palace go in search of goals.
