Ings himself reportedly desires one last shot at a big club and, with one year remaining on his current Saints deal, could be allowed to leave St Mary\u2019s this summer.<\/p>\n<p>The deal would suit two different scenarios at Spurs. As of right now, Ings would come in to form a deadly duo with Harry Kane. At the same time, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/06\/21\/manchester-city-make-first-bid-for-harry-kane\/\" target=\"_self\">should Kane decides to leave<\/a> in pursuit of trophies, the Southampton man would act as his direct replacement.<\/p>\n<h2>Tottenham Hotspur Transfer News<\/h2>\n<h3>Danny Ings Ticks Every Box<\/h3>\n<p>Clinical, cheap, quick and relentlessly hard-working, Danny Ings ticks almost every box when it comes to a Premier League forward within Spurs\u2019 price range. In fact, the transfer, if pursued by the London club, would be their smartest piece of business for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>The only time a problem could occur is if another club offers the forward a better opportunity. So, in essence, the only thing that could stand in Spurs\u2019 way is their own failure.<\/p>\n<p>Ings wants Champions League football; that\u2019s something Spurs can no longer offer. Give them another two years, and they\u2019re still unlikely to be back among Europe\u2019s elite such is the current power shift in the Premier League. So Ings has a decision to make. If an offer comes in, does he stick around for something better or does he gamble on <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/06\/30\/tottenham-hotspur-confirm-nuno-espirito-santo\/\" target=\"_self\">Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo\u2019s<\/a> attempted rebuild?
