Southampton star Danny Ings has spoken about his plans after he calls it quits.

The Saints ace knows that he will not be playing forever, and he wants to make plans for that date.

Ings does not want to end up having a void in his life when he is no longer playing. It is why he is taking a property management course.

"I'm trying to learn something with my spare time," said Ings to reporters, who is also teaching himself to play the guitar.

"My dad's a builder and I've got a family full of builders so it's probably something I'll go into once I've finished football.

"I wasn't the best at school, so I'm finding it quite difficult. But I'm learning a lot and trying to prepare for the future.

"I worked with my dad on site when I was about 13.

"He took me out once and I think I lasted about two hours – I got fed up of making his cups tea and him moaning about it!

"Now it's just solely advice and asking him where I can go with it."
