West Ham United transfer news: Danny Ings update emerges amid Wolves links
Wolves may decide to test the resolve of West Ham in January with a bid for striker Danny Ings, according to TEAMtalk.
The report claims on 10 January that David Moyes is reluctant to let go of any of his players due to an injury crisis at the club.
Despite Ings’ poor form and his being down in the pecking order at the London Stadium, the club are in no hurry to sell him.
The 31-year-old is a priority at Molineux, especially after the departure of Sasa Kalajdzic on loan to Frankfurt.
Tough situation
Selling Ings might have been a reasonable consideration for West Ham given his limited playing time and struggle to secure a starting role this season.
Ings has faced challenges in establishing himself in the starting lineup, making just one Premier League start for the Hammers during the current campaign.
His potential departure would have allowed the London outfit to recoup funds and streamline their squad, especially considering Ings has slipped down the pecking order.
However, the recent injury crisis at West Ham, with Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen, and Michail Antonio facing spells on the sidelines, changes the dynamics.
The club now finds itself in a precarious situation, needing depth and options in attack.
Retaining Ings has now become a necessity for Moyes, ensuring they have ample cover during a crucial period of the season where injuries can significantly impact the next few months.
