This is largely because summer signing Gianluca Scamacca has failed to hit the ground running, scoring just three goals in 16 Premier League appearances.<\/p>\n<p>However, unlike the Italian, Ings is a seasoned Premier League striker, and may just be the man to rescue West Ham. The 30-year-old has scored 68 goals in the competition in just 188 appearances and has long been considered one of the best natural finishers in the league.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/01\/19\/lchelsea-manchester-united-tottenham-brentford-david-raya\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Three Premier League Giants Tussle for Brentford Goalkeeper<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Can Ings Save West Ham?<\/h3>\n<p>With those numbers in mind, he absolutely can rescue David Moyes&#8217; side from the drop.<\/p>\n<p>The Hammers may sit in 18th, but they are only one point behind 17th-placed Bournemouth and an increase in goals should help them overturn that small deficit.

That is not Ings&#8217; strength, and he needs to receive the ball inside the 18-yard box to do what he does best &#8211; score goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/01\/17\/tottenham-held-talks-sign-pedro-porro\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Tottenham Hotspur Have Held Talks to Sign \u2018Sensational\u2019 23 Year Old<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If David Moyes can find a way to make that happen more often, then Danny Ings may score the goals West Ham need to stay in the Premier League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano, has revealed that Aston Villa have accepted West Ham United&#8217;s bid for Danny Ings, believed to be \u00a315 million with add-ons included.
