Former England international hails Danny Ings amid Man City rumours

Former striker Darren Bent has heaped praise on Southampton striker Danny Ings following rumours that Manchester City are eyeing him up.

Ings joined Southampton in August 2019 from Liverpool on an initial loan deal, before making the move permanent one year later. He has since enjoyed a prolific spell on the South coast, finishing as runner up in last season’s Golden Boot race to Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy.

This form has reportedly attracted the attention of Man City, with recent reports suggesting that they could be set to make a bid for the Englishman.

In response to the rumours, former England international Darren Bent has lauded the 28-year-old, labelling the potential move a “no-brainer”.
