West Ham United have signed striker Danny Ings from Aston Villa.

Ings, a senior England international, has joined the Hammers from Villa for an undisclosed fee until the summer of 2025.

All paperwork was submitted ahead of the midday deadline for the player to be eligible for tomorrow's Premier League fixture against Everton at London Stadium and the Club expects it will receive formal confirmation this afternoon.

The 30-year-old, who will add depth and quality to the Irons' squad, is relishing the opportunity to play for the Club.

“I'm really excited to join West Ham United," said Ings, who will wear the No18 shirt. “It's important I settle in as quickly as I can do – and do the important stuff on the pitch for West Ham.

“We've got some massive games ahead of us – and I've come here to try and score as many goals as I can to help the team to get some positive results.

“I'm really looking forward to getting started."

Manager David Moyes is looking forward to seeing the experienced striker join his squad and bolster his attacking options.

“I'm really pleased to add Danny to the squad," he said. “He is a proven Premier League goalscorer and will add great competition for places in the attacking third.

“We're looking forward to integrating him into the group, as we go into a busy period in our season."
