Ings signs for Saints

-
Southampton have signed 26-year-old striker Danny Ings initially on a season-long loan from Liverpool ahead of a permanent move next summer.


Saints boss Mark Hughes said: “There was significant competition for Danny, with a lot of clubs keen to complete a deal for him, so we’re clearly delighted that he chose to join us. 

“We have admired him for some time now, not only for his ability, but also his character and personality, which we feel will be an ideal fit in our dressing room. 

“He’s obviously a local boy, who gives us another excellent option up front. 

“He didn’t get to play as much as he would have liked at Liverpool, but he has been injury-free for some time now and has a real point to prove. 

“It’s a great boost for us on the eve of the season to bring another quality player into the squad, and we’re excited about what he can bring to the group.” 

Southampton-born Ings said: “When this football club came up, I had to take the opportunity to come home. It’s a fantastic football club who play great football and I’m just happy here. 

“You can tell that as a club it’s very, very organised. From the start, everyone I’ve met has been fantastic with me and shown me every single detail I need to know. The facilities are great and I can’t wait to get started.”

Our reaction at the end changed the game, but I thought we deserved the goal a little bit earlier. “We put them under pressure from the beginning, we played well and we created chances.” ---------- Sofiane Boufal: “When I went past one or two players I felt confident, and the rest of it just felt natural. “I’m so happy with this goal – for my family and all the people who have helped me in the difficult moments. “It’s football. Sometimes you have good moments and sometimes you have bad moments, but the most important thing is to be confident in
