Tottenham confident of closing deal for Premier League ace after opening talks to sign him

Todofichajes says Tottenham has opened talks with Southampton over signing Danny Ings and they are confident about signing him before this transfer window closes.

The striker has 12 months left on his current Southampton deal and he has told them he won’t sign a new one.

He is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and Tottenham wants to add him to their squad.

The plan is to field him and Harry Kane together in a two-man attack under Nuno Espirito Santo.

The former Liverpool man wants to test himself at a top club again and Spurs can give him the platform to achieve that.

The report says Southampton is looking to cash in on him for around 25m euros, however, Spurs wants to revise down that valuation and they might offer roughly 20m euros to sign him.

They could land him on a free transfer at the end of next season, but other clubs would also want to sign him then and Spurs might lose out to a competitor.

Ings has scored 46 goals in 100 games for The Saints since he joined them, initially on loan in 2018.
