# Aston Villa: Fans react to Danny Ings comments from Ralph Hasenhuttl

**Many Aston Villa fans have been reacting excitedly on Twitter following Ralph Hasenhuttl’s comments on potential interest in Southampton forward Danny Ings.**

Known to be attracting attention from [Aston Villa](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-news-ings-21079998) and [Tottenham](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-news-ings-21079998) this summer, the England international has been attracting increasing speculation surrounding his future following his decision to turn down a new four-year contract at St Mary’s earlier this month \[[Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12349098/danny-ings-turns-down-four-year-southampton-contract-offer-with-12-months-remaining-on-current-deal#:~:text=Danny%20Ings%20has%20turned%20down,left%20on%20his%20current%20deal.)\].

Breaking his silence on the matter, Southampton coach Hasenhuttl added fuel to the fire, claiming that “it’s not a perfect situation” for Ings or the club that he snubbed the Saints’ contract offer \[[BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57874183)\].

The 28-year-old enjoyed an excellent 2020/21 campaign, with 13 goals and four assists in 33 appearances \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-ings/leistungsdaten/spieler/134294/plus/0?saison=2020)\] following on from a [25-goal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-ings/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/134294) season before that, illustrating that he can be a consistently reliable scorer.

In light of these comments from Hasenhuttl, many Aston Villa diehards took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the state of play surrounding Ings.
