Danny Ings: Aston Villa sign England striker from Southampton

Aston Villa have signed England striker Danny Ings from Southampton on a three-year contract in a £25m deal.

Ings, 29, is Villa's fourth signing of the summer after Leon Bailey, Emiliano Buendia and Ashley Young.

He scored 46 goals in 100 appearances for Southampton after joining from Liverpool in 2018.

"Danny is an outstanding Premier League footballer who has scored goals wherever he has played," said Villa boss Dean Smith.

"He is also a top professional with a great character who will be a leader in our squad and a role model for our rapidly developing young academy players who are now in and around the first team.
