West Bromwich Albion should swoop for Ings if they lose Rondon

West Bromwich Albion should consider a move for Liverpool striker Danny Ings if Salomon Rondon leaves The Hawthorns.

What’s the word?

Following the Baggies’ relegation to the Championship, a number of their first-team players were linked with moves away.

Jonny Evans has already departed for pastures new at Leicester City, while Jay Rodriguez and Craig Dawson have been attracting attention from elsewhere.

Rondon is also among the list, with the Birmingham Mail reporting that 10 clubs are interested in signing the attacker.

If the 28-year-old does move on, the Baggies will need a replacement, and they should consider Liverpool forward Ings.

Does it make sense?

Ings has been plagued by injuries since his move from Burnley to Anfield in 2015.

Last season, the striker managed just 14 appearances in all competitions for the Reds, scoring once and creating a single assist.

Jurgen Klopp has so far resisted selling or even sending Ings out on loan, but the forward is in dire need of game time.

West Brom may feel a little hesitant given the lack of minutes that the one-capped England international has racked up, but he certainly has the quality to score goals on a regular basis.

Ings would also have the hunger and something to prove if he made the move to The Hawthorns.

There is a risk from the club’s point of view as they will want a reliable goalscorer to help them win back promotion to the Premier League, but a cheap deal for a player that could thrive at optimum fitness is a risk worth taking.
