# Southampton: Saints considering re-signing Danny Ings

**[Southampton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/southampton-fc-news/) are interested in re-signing Danny Ings this summer, according to a report from [90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/aston-villa-open-to-offers-for-danny-ings).**

### The lowdown: Ings’ Premier League past

Sold last summer for £25m following three years at St Mary’s ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11677/12372804/danny-ings-aston-villa-sign-southampton-forward-for-undisclosed-fee)), the striker left the Saints having [scored 46 times and registered 10 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-ings/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/134294) in 100 outings.

Despite being a regular for Aston Villa last season, the 29-year-old could already be deemed surplus to requirements as Steven Gerrard looks to strengthen the ranks in the Midlands.

Perhaps unsurprisingly given his impressive top-flight record of [62 goals](https://www.premierleague.com/players/8245/Danny-Ings/overview) in 170 [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) appearances, Southampton could be in the mix to bring Ings back to the south coast…

### The latest: Saints keeping tabs on Ings

As per [90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/aston-villa-open-to-offers-for-danny-ings), the Saints have ‘asked to be kept informed’ of the situation surrounding the [three-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-ings/nationalmannschaft/spieler/134294/verein_id/3299) England ace.

It’s claimed that fellow south coast clubs Brighton & Hove Albion and newly-promoted Bournemouth are also keen on signing Ings this summer.

The report states that Villa will ‘entertain offers’ for the man who Martin Keown dubbed [‘outstanding’](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1284088227557707777) in 2020 amidst interest from elsewhere.

### The verdict: No-brainer

Despite leaving in [rather inauspicious circumstances](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57718108), the opportunity to bring the Englishman back to Ralph Hasenhuttl’s squad isn’t one which should be passed up by Southampton.

Having ended the 2021/22 season with [four consecutive defeats](https://www.premierleague.com/clubs/20/Southampton/results?co=1&se=418), the Saints will be looking to freshen up the squad this summer, and the attacking department is certainly in dire need of a more clinical goal threat.

Club captain James Ward-Prowse ended the campaign as their top scorer with [11](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/top-scorers) from midfield, with strikers Che Adams, Shane Long and Adam Armstrong only mustering 12 goals between them.

Meanwhile, Ings netted [seven goals and provided six assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-ings/leistungsdaten/spieler/134294) in 30 Premier League outings for Villa, so he remains a worthwhile target for Hasenhuttl and co.
