Six deadline day signings that Southampton have made in the past
By Marc Walker
Danny Ings
It appeared that Saints were not going to sign anyone on deadline day in August 2018 but a late development saw them complete a last-minute deal for Ings.
He signed on an initial loan deal and struggled with injuries in his first season. However, he thrived once his move was made permanent for £20m.
In all, he made exactly 100 appearances for Saints and netted 46 goals, including a stunning 25-goal haul in 2019/20.
He was a hit with supporters given that he supported Saints himself as a boy but a contract dispute saw him sold to Aston Villa this summer for a fee that could rise to £30m.
