Tottenham wants £20 million striker to partner Harry Kane next season

Tottenham wants to sign Danny Ings and partner him with Harry Kane next season, according to The Telegraph.

Ings has entered the last year of his current deal at Southampton and he has made it clear to the Saints that he will not sign a new contract with them.

The Premier League club will now look to cash in on him otherwise he would walk for free after next season.

He is currently valued at £20 million and the report says Nuno Espirito Santo is looking to add him to his squad ahead of the new season.

The former Wolves boss wants to play with a two-man attack and he believes that Ings and Kane would do well together.

Kane has asked to leave Tottenham, but the club is confident that he will stay because no club can meet their asking price for his signature and they are now planning for life with him in their squad.

Ings has been a proven goalscorer in the Premier League and he has shown that in stints at Burnley, Liverpool and Southampton.

He now wants another go at a top club after his injury-plagued time at Liverpool and Tottenham can provide him with the perfect platform.
