Arsenal urged to go for Southampton striker Ings

Arsenal hero Martin Keown is urging his old club to move for Southampton striker Danny Ings.

Keown says Ings would be the perfect replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang if he leaves the Emirates this summer.

He told Talksport: "If Aubameyang left would Arsenal be an option? When you've got 20 goals to your name then everybody is interested in you, especially if suddenly you need a striker.

"Danny Ings has been outstanding. He presses really well, he's hard-working, Southampton are lucky to have him.

"I think while Ralph Hasenhuttl is there they'll keep him, because the two together are a little bit special. Ings is rewarding Southampton for the way they stood by him and gave him another chance and now he can't stop scoring.

"He could slot in anywhere, there would be a lot of clubs that would be interested in this fella if he became available. He's doing it now at the highest level."
