West Ham United have completed and announced the signing of Aston Villa striker Danny Ings in a deal worth £15m.

The 30-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal at London Stadium and joins the club to give West Ham, who have only scored 15 Premier League goals this season, more firepower.

In 18 appearances for Villa during 2022–23, Ings has scored six goals, although neither Unai Emery nor his predecessor Steven Gerrard have been able to secure him a regular position.

Mp3bullet revealed on Thursday that West Ham had agreed to sign Ings for £15m – comprised of a £12m guaranteed fee and £3m in add-ons – and he has now become David Moyes‘ second signing of the January transfer window.

“I’m really excited to join West Ham United,” Ings told the club’s official website. “It’s important I settle in as quickly as I can do – and do the important stuff on the pitch for West Ham.

“We’ve got some massive games ahead of us – and I’ve come here to try and score as many goals as I can to help the team to get some positive results. I’m really looking forward to getting started.”

Ings‘ arrival provides competition for Gianluca Scamacca and Michail Antonio up front, who have scored just five Premier League goals between them this season.

The England international has formerly played for Burnley, Liverpool, and Southampton. In 188 Premier League games, he has scored 68 goals, a total that very certainly would have been higher except for a number of major knee injuries.

Ings, who will wear the number 18 jersey, is expected to make his West Ham debut on Saturday in a key Premier League matchup against Everton, another struggling team.

We are delighted to announce the signing of Danny Ings! ⚒️

According to reports, West Ham have signed Danny Ings from Aston Villa in a £15million transfer as they look for firepower to escape the relegation zone.

David Moyes‘ team have spent big on the former England international striker as they try to get out of the bottom three.

Ings, 30, has started just eight Premier League games for Aston Villa this season.

Sky Sports report that West Ham have completed a deal to seal his signature and bolster their forward options.

Despite his lack of starts, Ings has managed six goals this term.

He will add some goalscoring nous to Moyes‘ squad, competing with Michail Antonio and Gianluca Scamacca for action.

West Ham have scored just 15 goals in 19 league matches this season. Only Wolves have scored fewer than Moyes’ men.

Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at Molineux saw the Hammers fall into the relegation zone.

The Guardian claim that should West Ham lose to Everton on Saturday, Moyes is “likely” to be sacked.

Italian international Scamacca, 24, has scored just three Premier League goals since his £30.5m summer arrival.

And Antonio’s luck in front of goal has been even worse, as he has only scored twice in 18 league outings this season.

Recently, the 32-year-old made a suggestion that he might depart the London Stadium.

He told the BBC: “My agent deals with all that & if something happens, something happens. Right now, I’m at West Ham and I have to pay attention to that.

“If something changes, it changes. We’ve got a striker in and are maybe looking at other strikers because, right now, we’re not doing it.

“If [West Ham] don’t want me or Gianlucca [Scamacca], they are going to try get someone out or they might want to have three options.

“You have to deal with whatever comes your way and that’s how I stand with it. I want to play football, and that’s all I care about.”
