3 Reasons Why A Move For This English Talent Makes More Sense Than Liverpool’s Recent Striking Acquisitions

According to recent reports, English striker Danny Ings will join Liverpool at the end of the season after the Reds reportedly have won the race for his signature.

It is believed that Ings who is set to be out of contract at Burnley at the end of this season; has opted to move to Anfield on a Bosman. With the likes of Real Sociedad from Spain, Germany’s Schalke and Dutch side Ajax all keeping tabs on the young striker’s contract situation; Liverpool have reportedly won the race for his signature ahead of the aforementioned and bitter rivals Manchester United.

The Championship-destined Clarets of Sean Dyche are due a compensation of £3million to £5million for Ings, because the former Bournemouth starlet is just 22 years of age. Here is why signing relegation-bound Burnley’s young English striker makes more sense than it seems to for Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers:

  1. Fits their Profile

Brendan Rodgers’ too wouldrelish the prospect of a striker who doesn’t only score goals but creates chances too. All of that while putting in tireless shifts, leading the line. Though not an out-and-out number 9; Brendan Rodgers’ attempts at playing Raheem Sterling and Philipe Coutinho as the number 9 this season has shown how much the Northern Irishman values movement and fluidity in his strikers.

The Reds deviated from their “profile” last summer when bringing in Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert; Ings, on the other hand, would be a risk-free acquisition with the potential of becoming a bargain. His wages wouldn’t be astronomical, either. Both on and off the pitch, he is a signing that makes sense.
