Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl says “there is no reason to sell” Danny Ings but the striker entering the final year of his contract without a new deal in place is “not a perfect situation”. The 28-year-old’s contract is due to expire in June 2022 and he has rejected a new four-year deal at the club. “There’s no reason to sell him, but it’s always a risk for the player when you go into your final year without a contract. “People on our team are telling him what to do, we have our opinions about what we want him to do." "He’s our player and we’d love him to be here, but one thing is also clear — when he is not extending his contract, that it is not a perfect situation for him, it’s not a perfect situation for us.”
