Southampton Legend Matt Le Tissier Claims New Saints Striker Could Become Cult Hero at St Mary's

Former Southampton attacking midfielder Matt Le Tissier is already a huge admirer of Danny Ings and reckons the English striker could become a cult hero among Saints fans.

The 26-year-old joined the St Mary's side on loan this summer and has been quite impressive in attack. Southampton could make his deal permanent for a reported £18m next year and are very likely to if he keeps performances up and remains healthy.

Le Tissier has showered some praise on the former Burnley man, lauding his attitude and character and branding him an "excellent" player.

“I think he’s been excellent, I really do,” the pundit said, via the Daily Echo.
