West Ham United have informed Danny Ings he has no future at the club, according to TBR Football.
The news outlet reported on Monday (26 August) that the Hammers are in talks over terminating the 32-year-oldโs contract this month.It is understood that talks over a pay-off have been held after Ings rejected the chance to re-sign for Southampton earlier in the summer transfer window despite a deal being agreed by the Irons.
Danny Ings could be set to leave West Ham United
Ings has had very little impact in his season and a half at West Ham.
The former Burnley and Liverpool striker has scored just four times in 53 appearances across all competitions for the Hammers.
Almost all of those appearances have been as a substitute so while that does mean heโs not going to score as many goals, many would have expected him to have more of an impact in East London than he has done.
West Hamโs Midfield Shake-Up: The Future of James Ward-Prowse
In a surprising turn of events, it seems that West Ham are ready to part ways with James Ward-Prowse, just a year after he joined the Hammers from Southampton. According to a report from TEAMtalk, new manager Julen Lopetegui is looking to reshape the teamโs midfield, with fresh signings already arriving, such as Argentine international Guido Rodrรญguez, and the club potentially landing Paris Saint-Germainโs Carlos Soler. This restructuring could see Ward-Prowse become a shock casualty at the London Stadium.
Ward-Prowseโs Set-Piece Expertise vs. Lopeteguiโs Vision
Ward-Prowse, known for his exceptional set-piece abilities, was a key signing for former West Ham boss David Moyes. His knack for delivering accurate crosses and deadly free-kicks made him an invaluable asset. Last season, the England international made 51 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing 12 assists, a testament to his prowess. Moyes relied heavily on this aspect of Ward-Prowseโs game, much like he did with other clubs during his managerial career.
