Newcastle have been linked with a move for Danny Ings.
According to a report in the Daily Star the Liverpool striker is attracting the interest of Rafa Benitez.
Ings has had a nightmare time over the last two seasons after joining Liverpool on a Bosman deal from Burnley.
Jurgen Klopp has shown little interest in the player signed by Brendan Rodgers with a parting of the ways expected during the transfer window.
Signing a striker and a goalkeeper are the priorities for Benitez with half a dozen strikers linked with a move to St James’ Park.
Although his injury record brings a large element of risk to a transfer Ings scored an impressive 11 Premier League goals in 2014/15 for a Burnley side that was relegated.
With less than a fortnight to go until the Premier League opener against Spurs time isn’t on Benitez’s side as he attempts to deliver on the expectations of the Newcastle support.
