Liverpool are reportedly in pole position to sign Danny Ings from Burnley.

The Liverpool Echo suggests that the Reds are the frontrunners to land the 22-year old striker in the summer transfer window.

Brendan Rodgers is planning a cleanout at Anfield at the end of the season and is almost certain to get rid of Mario Balotelli, Fabio Borini and Rickie Lambert.

With that a likely scenario, the Merseyside outfit will go after Clarets ace Ings who would come with a compensation fee of between £3million and £5million.

The would see a new-look strike-force of Ings and Divock Origi, who will arrive at Liverpool in the summer following his loan spell with Lille, before Daniel Sturridge returns from hip surgery.
