Newcastle line up shock swoop for Liverpool star

Newcastle United are one of the Premier League sides who are interested in signing Liverpool striker Danny Ings, according to a report from John Percy of The Telegraph.

Ings, who has asked to leave Anfield this summer after being told that he is behind Roberto Firmino, Daniel Sturridge, Dominic Solanke and Rhian Brewster in the pecking order, is also a target for Crystal Palace and Southampton.

Liverpool, who are willing to let up to ten players, including Simon Mignolet, Loris Karius, Divock Origi and Lazar Markovic, leave this summer, have apparently put a £20m asking price on Ings.

Whether the Magpies would still be interested in the 26-year-old at that price remains to be seen, especially as he’s been plagued by injuries in recent seasons.

Ings, who has one England cap to his name, only returned to full fitness midway through last season after two injury hit seasons, and as such, a £20m fee could be too rich for Newcastle’s blood but if the Reds are willing to negotiate, Ings could certainly be a viable option for Rafa Benitez.
