West Brom boss Alan Pardew hints at interest in Liverpool's Danny Ings

Danny Ings could be a transfer target for West Brom manager Alan Pardew
Alan Pardew says he is hoping to confirm West Brom's January transfer plans this week, and has hinted he is interested in Liverpool striker Danny Ings.
The West Brom manager is scheduled to meet technical director Nicky Hammond to discuss their transfer targets, and it appears as though Ings could be one of them.
Pardew said: "I'd be foolish to say I don't like Danny Ings because I quite like him. It's a shame about his injury - he's had to battle back and everyone wishes him well.
Alan Pardew's side have failed to score a goal in his two games in charge
"I have seen Nicky Hammond to pencil in a meeting to talk about that this week, so maybe on Friday I can give you a bit more of where we're looking and what we're looking at."
Ings joined Liverpool in June 2015, but his time at the club has been hampered by knee injuries.
The 25-year-old came off the bench in Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Everton on Sunday to make his first Premier League appearance since May 2016.
Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Ings is fit, but that he may find playing time hard to come by at Anfield.
"Danny is fit, but the others are good as well and that makes it a bit difficult for Danny," Klopp said.
"He's always asking for minutes. It makes more sense for him to play 90 minutes for the U23s than a few minutes with us.
"But on Sunday I thought it was a good idea to involve him."
Salomon Rondon has only scored two Premier League goals for West Brom this season
Pardew has said that he wants to see more from Salomon Rondon, West Brom's current first-choice striker, and suggested after Saturday's defeat to Swansea that the side is lacking in attacking quality.
He said: "The commitment of the players you can't really fault, we just need that little bit of quality. Just in that final moment, the final pass, the final decision.
"The team is looking for a spark from an offensive player, a little bit of something special."

Many have been writing City's rivals off, such is the dominance of Pep Guardiola's unbeaten side, but Matic says there is a long way to go yet. W Brom vs Man Utd He told Soccer Saturday : "The gap is big, obviously 11 points is a lot, but the league is not finished. I'm sure there will be very interesting games until the end, and of course that they will drop some points. We will see what will happen. "As I say there are still many games to play and I th...

Clasico conspiracy? The truth on whether Barcelona or Real Madrid receive more red cards

Clasico conspiracy? The truth on whether Barcelona or Real Madrid receive more red cards.   Both Clasico clubs have regularly claimed to have been victimised by officials but do the official stats support either side's case? Clement Lenglet's dismissal for an alleged elbow on Pere Pons in Barcelona's Liga draw with Girona on Sunday caused all sorts of controversy. Even Pons was surprised by referee Gil Manzano's VAR-assisted decision to dismiss Lenglet, with the midfielder admitting afterwards that he thought that he had fouled the French defender. "I took a blow but when I got up, I apologised to Lenglet and shook his hand because I thought it was my fault," he confessed. As bemused Barca boss Ernesto Valverde pointed out afterwards, "It's the first time that the player who is sent off receives an apology from his rival for fouling him!" It was a significant call, too, as Barcelona were leading through a Lionel Messi...
