# Everton: Toffees have ‘bid’ rejected for Danny Ings

**The Daily Mail journalist Dominic King has revealed that [Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) have had a ‘bid’ to sign Danny Ings rejected by Aston Villa.**

### The Lowdown: Lampard under pressure

Frank Lampard is a manager under pressure after an embarrassing 4-1 loss against Brighton and Hove Albion at Goodison Park in the Premier League.

The likes of [Wayne Rooney](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/everton-premier-league-frank-lampard-wayne-rooney-transfer-news-updates/) and [Mauricio Pochettino](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/everton-premier-league-mauricio-pochettino-transfer-news-updates/) have already been named as potential replacements for him, and the January transfer window is a huge one in terms of bringing reinforcements in to try and shoot the Merseyside club up the table and away from the relegation zone.

### The Latest: Ings ‘bid’ rejected

Taking to Twitter, [King](https://twitter.com/DominicKing_DM/status/1610685965223313409) has revealed that the Toffees have had a loan ‘bid’ rejected by Villa for Ings, and it is a ‘situation to watch’ for the rest of the window:

*“Everton have had a bid to sign Danny Ings on loan rejected by Aston Villa. The only way Villa will allow Ings to move is on a permanent deal. A number of other clubs are interested in him. Be a situation to watch.”*

### The Verdict: Go in again

The Blues need to go in with another offer for Ings after having their first one rejected.

Hailed a ‘[special](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-ings-gerrard-merson-23320501)‘ player by Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson, and a ‘[phenomenal finisher](https://www.footballinsider247.com/danny-ings-pundit-issues-phenomenal-verdict-after-aston-villa-reveal/)‘ by former Premier League striker Noel Whelan, the 30-year-old showed his credentials once again by [scoring the equaliser](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64106275) for Villa in their 1-1 draw at home to Wolves on Wednesday night.

Despite not being a regular starter, that was his sixth goal in the top flight so far this season, and 68th in total in 187 games ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-ings/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/134294/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB1&pos=&trainer_id=)).

Ings is a proven goalscorer at Premier League level, and Everton need one to help lift them away from the drop zone, having scored just [14 goals in 18 matches](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) so far.
