Southampton midfielder Ward-Prowse: Ings best striker in the country

Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse feels they boast the best striker currently in the Premier League.

Ings struck in Saints' win at Leicester City on Saturday.

Suggested to Ward-Prowse there was no better striker in the country at present, Ward-Prowse replied: "Probably not, no.

"It's great to see him doing well because he deserves it. Everyone sees the goals, but you watch us as a team and he sets off the press with Longy. He's getting his rewards.

"I think he should be in the next England squad. He's done more than enough already, not just for his goals, but the way he is working without the ball as well. He sets the tone for us with his pressing, along with Longy (Shane Long) up front."
