Aston Villa have signed forward Danny Ings from Southampton for an undisclosed fee, the club announced on Wednesday.
Ings signed a three-year deal after completing his shock transfer, with Villa moving swiftly to bring in attacking reinforcements ahead of captain Jack Grealish s apparently imminent departure.
Grealish is reportedly set to join Manchester City for £100million, but Ashley Young, Emiliano Buendia, Leon Bailey and now Ings have all joined Villa in this window.
Ings reportedly cost Villa £30m, having decided not to renew his Southampton contract, which expires next year.
The 29-year-old netted 12 times for Saints in 29 Premier League appearances last term and added a sole international goal for England.
Upon confirming Ings signat…
Son Heung-min and Harry Kane starred as Tottenham inflicted a joint-worst home Premier League defeat on 10-man Manchester United, who were hammered 6-1 at Old Trafford.
The woeful Red Devils conceded four home first-half goals in the Premier League for the first time having taken a second-minute lead through Bruno Fernandes penalty.
Tanguy Ndombele levelled before Kane brilliantly set up Son to put Tottenham ahead before the favour was returned shortly after Anthony Martial was sent off, the Frenchman retaliating by striking Erik Lamela in the face after he appeared to be caught by a straw arm himself.
Son had a deserved second prior to the break, before the brilliant Serge Aurier added a fifth and Kane s late penalty meant the scoreline matched United s 6-1…
Neymar will be sidelined for the remainder of the season due to ankle surgery, Paris Saint-Germain announced on Monday.
The Brazilian has been out of action since suffering an ankle injury during the 4-3 victory over Lille in February.
Head coach Christophe Galtier confirmed last week that Neymar would remain absent for the Ligue 1 clash against Nantes, a 4-2 win, as well as Wednesday s Champions League round-of-16 second leg against Bayern Munich.
It has now been announced that a return this season is not on the cards, with Neymar out of action for the next three to four months.
A statement read: Neymar Jr has featured several episodes of right ankle instability in recent years.
Following his last sprain contracted on February 20, the Paris Sain…
Gary Neville says the nature of Paul Pogba s departure from Manchester United leaves a bad taste in the mouth .
The 2018 World Cup winner announced his United exit this month, and is leaving the Red Devils on a free transfer six years on from joining for a then-world record £89million fee.
It is the second time Pogba has departed the Red Devils as a free agent, and having spent four trophy-laden years with Juventus last time around, he has been strongly linked with a return to the Bianconeri.
Although Pogba recorded more Premier League assists (38) and created more chances (231) than any other United player during his second spell with the club, the Red Devils have failed to win a major trophy since 2017.
Pogba hit out at United for making a mistake …
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice but was unable to rescue Milan as their unbeaten start in Serie A ended with a thrilling 4-3 loss at Fiorentina on Saturday.
The Rossoneri had made their best start to a top-flight season in the three-points-per win era after 12 matches and had a chance to move clear at the top of the table, but their 17-game unbeaten run in the league stretching back into last season was halted.
Joseph Alfred Duncan profited from a calamitous mix-up between Ciprian Tatarusanu and Matteo Gabbia to fire the hosts ahead at Stadio Artemio Franchi, before former Milan player Riccardo Saponara curled in a sensational second shortly before half-time.
Dusan Vlahovic extended Fiorentina s advantage, and while Ibrahimovic struck twice in five minutes to …
Arsenal eyeing a Kimmich swoop
Although might have certainly made an immediate impact after completing a £105million move from West Ham, there has been continued speculation that Mikel Arteta has another central midfielder at the top of his summer wishlist.
With reports that the Gunners could be willing to cash in on Ghana international Thomas Partey, Bayern Munich superstar has suddenly been speculated as a standout target for the Premier League title contenders.
While the German ace might have often been in possession of Bayern’s captain’s armband this season, it has been suggested that Kimmich is keen on a summer move away from the Allianz.
Entering the final 18 months of his current deal with the German heavyweights, there has been no progress over a…

Spurs’ flying start to the new campaign earned their new head coach the Premier League manager of the month award for August on Friday.
The last Tottenham manager to receive the accolade was Nuno Espirito Santo at the start of the 2021-22 season but he was sacked months later in October.

Sporting Lisbon head coach Ruben Amorim has denied reaching a verbal agreement with Liverpool to succeed Jurgen Klopp as manager at Anfield.
Reports suggested the 39-year-old is in talks with the Premier League club with a view to taking over in the summer.
Amorim emphatically dismissed the speculation as he prepares for his side’s Primeira Liga match at Gil Vicente on Friday evening.
“This is the last time I am going to talk about my future,” he told a press conference.
“There was no interview and certainly no agreement.
“The only thing we all want here is to be champions with Sporting, nothing will change.

Madrid – looking for a new head coach following Zinedine Zidane s departure – confirmed the arrival of Alaba on a free transfer upon the expiry of his Bayern contract, the Austria star signing a five-year deal at the LaLiga giants.
Following Friday s confirmation, Alaba took to social media to talk up his move from Munich to the Spanish capital after winning 27 trophies with Bayern.

While Pep Guardiola feels Rodri was deserving of a nomination for the Premier League s Player of the Season award, he expects the midfielder to shrug off that rejection and stay focused on the title race.
Rodri was surprisingly omitted from the eight-man shortlist for the league s top individual prize when it was revealed on Thursday, with team-mates Phil Foden and Erling Haaland making the cut.
That is despite the Spaniard playing a key role as City chase an unprecedented fourth straight league title, and three wins from their last three matches will ensure they edge out Arsenal to retain their crown.
Ahead of Saturday s trip to Fulham, where City have a chance to go top of the table before Arsenal face Manchester United on Sunday, Guardiola said there was no do…
