Liverpool confirm Ings signing

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Burnley
striker Danny Ings.
The England Under-21 international is out of
contract at Turf Moor and will join the Anfield club
on 1 July subject to a medical.
The Clarets are entitled to compensation for Ings
but the clubs have not yet agreed a transfer fee.
Ings, 22, scored 11 goals in the Premier League
this season but could not prevent the club from
being relegated.
The former Bournemouth forward is in the England
Under-21 squad for this month's European
Championship in the Czech Republic.
Missing: Goals at Anfield
Liverpool scored 101 league goals when they
finished second in the 2013-14 season
Luis Suarez scored 31 times in 33 starts, while
Daniel Sturridge hit 21
Last season the Reds managed just 52, with
Steven Gerrard top scorer with nine
Sturridge struggled with injury last season,
scoring just four times in the Premier League
Mario Balotelli and Fabio Borini scored once, and
Rickie Lambert scored twice
He becomes the second summer signing at Anfield
after James Milner joined from Manchester City last
week.
Liverpool forwards Mario Balotelli, Fabio Borini,
Rickie Lambert and Daniel Sturridge scored eight
league goals between them as Brendan Rodgers'
side finished sixth in the Premier League.
If the two clubs cannot agree on a fee for Ings then
the price will be set by a tribunal as the player is
under the age of 24.
Burnley said: "We have rejected an offer made by
Liverpool, but will continue to have dialogue with the
club in order to reach a resolution over the fee."
Ings joined the Clarets from Bournemouth four
years ago for £1m and scored 43 goals in 130
games for the club.
