Promotion high-flyers Wrexham are plotting an ambitious capture of Southampton hero Danny Ings.
Since the beginning of June, former Southampton number nine Danny Ings has been labelled as another of the Premiership's potential newcomers. Fair enough, there could hardly be any better destinations for someone who has proven his mettle for over a decade in the English top-flight.
Well, Ings might be no different to this belief but there is a big difference between mere speculations and concrete Scottish offers.
Truth be told, Ings has indeed received a proposal but that's a second-division opportunity in the Championship. And not to get your hopes up, that's not a second Southampton gig.
Ings can lead Wrexham's success story in the Championship
Now, it may seem unlucky from Ings point of view but there's an ambitious catch.
According to journalist Anthony Joseph, the ones vying for Ings services are English football's underrated high-flyers Wrexham.
Honestly, a majority of Southampton fans are unlikely to even keep up with Wrexham's matches but their recent division jumps are mind blowing nonetheless. They have spent the past three years in as many different levels which has now made them one of Southampton's division mates, for at least the next twelve months.
Hence, their upward trajectory will likely appear enticing enough to Ings. Reach the double digits goal mark with them and there can be a brilliant chance for the latter to even bag an unexpected Premier League promotion.
Biases aside, even Ings might not have dreamed of getting another shot at the Premier League in his recent struggling campaigns. Thus, let's hope this move turns into a reality and wish the best to Ings for finding his scoring boots there.
For Southampton, it's a competitive alarm to start picking up their missing transfer pieces to avoid getting on-field upsets against these Championship wildcards.
