# Liverpool: Fans fume at James Pearce’s update on Danny Ings

**Liverpool fans are furious at their club’s dealings after reports emerged that they will receive just £2m from Danny Ings’ move from Southampton to Aston Villa.**

Ings joined the Saints from Anfield back in 2019, and went on to score [46 goals in 100 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-ings/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/134294) for the Premier League side in his two seasons with the club.

That includes [13 goals in 33 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-ings/leistungsdaten/spieler/134294/plus/0?saison=2020) in the 2020/21 season, in what was a frustrating campaign as they finished 15th in the Premier League.

The Athletic’s [James Pearce](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1422986817662504966) has revealed that Liverpool negotiated a 20 per cent sell-on clause when he opted to sign for Southampton, but it’s only 20 per cent of any fee upwards of £20m, which means that the Reds will only get a boost of £2m from the £30m that Aston Villa have paid for his services this summer.

Plenty of Liverpool’s supporters took to social media to voice their frustrations after hearing of this update from [The Athletic’s Liverpool correspondent.](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1422986817662504966)

Take a look at the best of the reaction from Twitter, as [Pearce’s recent update](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1422986817662504966) on Liverpool’s sell-on strategy attracted plenty of criticism.
