According to an update by reliable club source ExWHUemployee, West Ham United are monitoring the situation of Southampton star Danny Ings – with the Englishman’s contract dilemma now attracting various suitors across the Premier League to take note.
Ings, whilst unlikely to move this window according to the insider, is enticing GSB’s interest – with the board keeping close tabs to see how events unfold regarding his new deal on the south coast.

Ings monitored by West Ham
The 28-year-old is thought to be holding off on committing his future to Southampton, with reports suggesting that he wishes to have a shot at European football (The Sun).
Entering the prime of his career, signing a new deal for the Saints could be his last big contract, with Ings apparently biding his time and considering other options.
Now, as per ExWHUemployee, and shared by Hammers News, West Ham have entered the fray and are closely monitoring the seven-goal forward (WhoScored).
Transfer Tavern take
Given his past plaudits and prolific record so far across both last season and this campaign, it’s hard to argue he would be a coup for the Hammers.
Pundit and podcaster Lee McQueen recently hailed him as ‘phenomenal’ just after the last transfer window (Last Word on Spurs), with his recent record in front of goal backing up those claims despite some injury issues.
Last summer, Ings received an even bigger compliment, with The Athletic once likening him to Pierre-Emile Aubameyang in terms of finishing.
Even though a move is unlikely to happen in January, this update West Ham are keeping tabs could be an enticing one ahead of the summer window.
