Southampton fans have taken to Twitter to emphasise the importance of Danny Ings, following yet another crucial strike from the forward against Norwich.Ings’ goal against the Canaries came just days after he netted against another relegation rival in Watford, helping the Saints overcome both opponents by a 2-1 scoreline to hand them six vital points in their battle for survival.The former Liverpool man – who cost the south coast side £20m – took his tally for the season to eight goals in the Premier League, one more than he managed in the entirety of the previous campaign.Ings, 27, has also scored more Premier League goals this season than elite attackers such as Harry Kane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, a statistic that one Southampton fan below mentions while also stating that the England international is everything they hoped he’d be.
This fan went on to say that the key is to keep him fit, while stating that Ings’ work rate is second to none.
That same supporter, as well as the one below them, both mentioned that it could be the former Burnley man’s goals that keep them in the Premier League, clearly demonstrating his importance to the club.
Additionally, the love-in for Ings continued as this fan said that he is the best goalscorer and the best at pressing, while also being the “best attacking passer” as well as a top three dribbler of the ball, presumably meaning at Southampton rather than in the top-flight as a whole.
Lastly, these two fans are also in adoration of the striker. One said that they think Ings is one of the best English strikers right now and “deserves a call-up” to Gareth Southgate’s squad, while they other supporter said that the in-form attacker has been a “great signing”.
