Tottenham are reportedly weighing up a summer move for Southampton forward Danny Ings.
Ings, the England international, has been in fine form for Saints this season, netting seven Premier League goals in only 13 appearances.
Discussions over extending his existing contract have been ongoing with club hierarchy for some time, with his current deal due to expire in the summer of 2022.
This puts Saints in a pickle, as if Ings doesn’t extend his contract sooner rather than later they will have to consider selling the striker this summer or risk losing him for free one year later.
This has alerted Spurs, Eurosport claim, and they ‘plan to explore whether Ings is seriously considering his future’ as a Southampton player.
Tottenham were keen on signing Ings last summer, but instead brought in Carlos Vinicius on a season-long loan from Benfica.
Jose Mourinho has a plethora of attacking talent at his disposal, with Heung-min Son and Harry Kane widely regarded as two of the best forwards in world football.
Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl recently admitted that the club may struggle to agree a new deal for Ings, which could pave the way for a summer exit.
“We are in a situation where every club is struggling with finances,” Hasenhuttl said.
“We are trying to keep the club in a healthy way and it is not only about Ingsy, there are others who also want to extend their contract.
“If it is not what we expect to pay in the future, then we have to look for somebody else who is cheaper, but we know it always should be win-win for both.
“If they want to make the next step in the summer to a bigger club and there is an offer fitting to the player, then we can always negotiate.”
