West Ham boss Moyes on Ings: We're desperate for Danny to become the Danny we want to see

West Ham boss David Moyes admits he wants more from Danny Ings.

The former Aston Villa striker has struggled for goals this season.

Moyes said: "We're desperate for Danny to become the Danny we want to see. He's showed it before with his goals, and I'm keen for him to get goals for us. He showed it for us when he arrived and scored against Nottingham Forest.

"He's not had as many opportunities due to circumstances, like Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen playing as a centre-forward, so those things have stalled the amount of game time he has got and I'm sure the more he gets, that will make a difference.

"I thought he played very well against Sheffield United. We played him in a deeper role and I think maybe that helped him a bit. I hope he's saved up his opportunities for the weeks to come."
