The writer revealed on Friday, June 28 via HITC that the Irons have begun negotiations to sign Walker-Peters, and that Russell Martin’s team is keen to bring the England international back to the south coast this summer.
Flynn Downes is reportedly willing to move both ways in a player-plus-cash deal, and it is known that Julen Lopetegui’s Hammers are willing to transfer Downes to Southampton as part of the deal [Sky Sports News, 28 June].
Will Danny Ings exit West Ham United in summer transfer window amid Southampton speculation?
Even while certain supporters and commentators will always argue that David Moyes didn’t get the greatest performance out of Ings, it has been evident for practically the whole time that Ings is not a good enough leader of the Hammers’ front line.
The former England international has never really been able to click in claret and blue because he lacks the physical strength of a player like Michail Antonio. It makes sense that both sides would be prepared to split up this summer.
It would be impressive business if he was included in the agreement to bring Walker-Peters to the London Stadium, but as of right now, it appears much more likely that Downes will join the Saints.
in return.
Maybe Ings and Southampton might work out a separate agreement at a later point in the transfer window. They will submit an offer for the striker in the upcoming weeks if Martin is as eager to get his signature as it has been suggested.
Getting a deal to bring Walker-Peters in over the line first will be crucial for West Ham. They can then concentrate on getting rid of some of Lopetegui’s squad’s dead wood, like Ings, after that is finished.
