Southampton forward Danny Ings is the latest name to be linked with a transfer to Spurs in the current window.
Their need for a back-up striker to Harry Kane is well-documented and a host of players have been linked with a switch to North London.
The 28-year-old moved to the Saints last summer from Liverpool, having spent part of the previous season on loan, and made a strong impact, scoring 25 gaols in all competitions, and helping them to an 11th place finish.
He recently earned his second England cup as a substitute in the Nations League win in Iceland, seven years after his first against San Marino.
One problem though is convincing Ings that the move would be right for him. Whoever joins Spurs knows that Kane will always be first-choice, and that will have limited first-team opportunities. Having just got back into Gareth Southgate’s squad he may not be ready to jeopardise that.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
