Southampton striker Danny Ings will find the chance to play up front with Harry Kane at Tottenham attractive, claims Evening Standard journalist Jack Rosser.

With Kane continuing to be linked with a move to Manchester City, it looked like Ings could be brought in as a replacement.

However, according to The Telegraph, the 29-year-old has been earmarked as someone who can come in and play alongside the England captain.

The same outlet also claims that Ings is Tottenham's top target this summer, so you would expect the north London club to do everything they can to sign the Southampton man. And Rosser is convinced he would relish the opportunity to partner his compatriot in attack.

"It'd be attractive for any striker," Rosser said in a chat with TT when discussing the topic of Ings potentially playing next to Kane at Tottenham.

"A lot of strikers have turned down Spurs because they don't want to be stuck behind Harry Kane, which is completely understandable because he's someone who wants to play every minute."

While Kane is obviously an elite goalscorer, he also proved to be a very good playmaker last season. No player provided more Premier League assists than the 27-year-old's 14, so Ings must be licking his lips at the prospect of playing up front with his countryman.
