Ings has faced an impossible task in securing consistent playing time this season, even with injuries to some of The Irons forwards. David Moyes‘ decision to prioritise Divin Mubama over Ings against Bristol City, especially with Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen side-lined, likely came as a disappointment to the former Southampton and Liverpool striker.
Evidently not part of David Moyes’ plans, Ings has been informed that he is free to leave the club. The striker is reportedly uninterested in moving to lower divisions, leaving Premier League clubs as his preferred destination.
Recent transfer reports suggest that Palace are actively seeking a new striker, with a specific focus on securing a top-level centre-forward capable of consistently scoring in the Premier League. However, the report indicates that a summer move for Ings might be more plausible, as Roy Hodgson’s side is reluctant to overpay during the January transfer window.
