Southampton have asked about taking Danny Ings from West Ham.

The 31-year old had a fruitful spell with Saints between 2019 and 2021 when he scored 46 goals in 100 appearances and they are keen to reunite and bring his Premier League experience back to St Mary's.

Manager Russell Martin has already brought back Adam Lallana from Brighton and sees Ings as a proven top flight goalscorer who can help guide what will be a relatively young dressing room.

Mail Sport understands Southampton are willing to offer up to £6m for Ings but the former England international wants to assess all options open to him this summer.

Ings scored once in 30 appearances across all competitions, having started started just seven matches in the 2023-24 campaign.

West Ham want to add another centre forward and winger for new boss Julen Lopetegui so are looking to recoup funds where they can and bring down the age of their squad.

The Hammers last week completed the signing of 18-year-old Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras.

The East London club are undergoing a change this summer, after the exit of David Moyes as manager, and the incoming management of Lopetegui.

West Ham finished ninth last season, missing out on European football, despite reaching the Europa League quarter-finals this term, and winning the Europa Conference League 12 months ago.
