Danny Ings is on the brink of agreeing a new long-term contract with Southampton.

The 28-year-old has excelled since joining the Saints from Liverpool in 2018, scoring five goals in eight games for his club and country this season, four in five in the Premier League.

The Athletic reports Southampton are increasingly confident Ings will extend the three-year deal he signed at St Mary's in 2019 after manager Ralph Hasenhuttl said the froward had 'zero interest' in leaving.

The terms of the new deal - including the duration and release clause - are still being negotiated by both parties.

As it stands, Ings has just under two years left of his current £65,000-per-week deal at St Mary's.
