Ex-Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Michael Kightly has suggested his former side try to sign Premier League goal machine Danny Ings from Southampton.

The 27-year-old has been in sensational form recently for the Saints and many anticipate he will get a recall to the England squad.

He’s scored 16 goals in 24 games across all competitions this season, including a strike in a draw against Wolves in the league.

According to the Daily Star, Premier League outfit Tottenham have him on their January transfer radar.

Ings previously struggled during his time at Liverpool largely down to injuries, but has managed to reignite his career at St Mary’s.

The centre-forward would be a high-profile addition if he did move to Molineux and would add an extra spark going forward.

Kightly is convinced that he would be an ideal target his month for Wolves and has urged them to consider a move.

“I’ve played with Danny Ings and I think he’s a really good player in great form,” Kightly told Love Sport Radio.

“If Wolves could get in a player of his ability that would be great and I think he’d do really well at Wolves. Problem is though, can you see Southampton selling him and what kind of money is he gonna go for?

“They need someone alongside Jimenez or someone to come in and play a few games when he’s tired cause I think if he gets injured then that’ll be a real big problem for Wolves.”

TBR’s View:

Wolves have an XI that on their day can challenge any team in the division, but the squad isn’t the strongest considering they are balancing both domestic and European competitions this season.

Nuno Espirito Santo desperately needs more reinforcements in attack to help support Raul Jimenez, Diogo Jota and Pedro Neto.

Ings is one of the most in-form strikers around right now and he would bring an extra

He’s a natural finisher that is proven in the Premier League and he’s got the type of work-rate that could fit Nuno’s high intensity style.

But the only minor issue is the risk of injury, as he’s had some torrid luck in his career.
