Danny Ings has joined Southampton on a deal that will see him stay at the St Mary for 2018-19 and then sign permanently on July 1, 2019.
Ings originally arrived at Liverpool from Burnley in June 2015 and made 25 appearances for the club, scoring four goals.
Those figures would have been far greater but for the fact the 26-year-old was required to twice battle back from serious knee injuries during his time with the Reds, the first of which occurred just days into Jürgen Klopp’s tenure as manager.
Ings’ popularity among both his teammates and the club’s supporters was demonstrated by the joyous scenes that followed his first senior goal in two-and-a-half years when he netted during the 2-2 draw at West Bromwich Albion in April.
The 26-year-old striker has now joined Saints initially on a season-long loan but they are committed to buying the England international next summer following a £20million fee agreed.
Everybody at Liverpool Football Club wishes Danny all the best for his future career.
Danny Ings.
