Aston Villa paid Southampton £30m for striker Danny Ings, according to reliable reporter Gregg Evans.
And a number of Villa supporters have been sharing their negative thoughts at the figure on social media.
The 29-year-old was announced as a Villa player on Wednesday evening out of nowhere, penning a three-year deal at Villa Park.
Both Sky Sports and BBC believed a deal cost in the region of £25m, however, Evans, who writes for The Athletic, claimed a move cost Villa £30m.
Ings became Villa’s fourth summer signing after moves for Emiliano Buendia, Ashley Young and Leon Bailey and bolsters Dean Smith’s ranks going forward with Jack Grealish now a Manchester City player.
Villa fans react
Well-known Villa page @villareport shared Evans’ claim on Ings on Twitter on Wednesday evening.
This is what these Villa supporters had to say in reply to the post, with one describing a fee as 'embarrassing' with a number of fans not exactly thrilled at the fee.
