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."

'Ronaldo was the best player, no doubts' - Portugal star's FIFA snub surprises Santos

The Juventus forward's national team coach has spoken out over the decision to overlook his captain for Best Player and Best Goal Cristiano Ronaldo was the victim of a double injustice at the Best FIFA Football Awards, according to Portugal coach Fernando Santos, after he missed out on both Best Player and Best Goal.

But Santos has spoken out at the decision to give the midfielder the Player of the Year honour over Ronaldo, suggesting his captain and talisman was unfairly beaten into second place. He is quoted in Marca as saying: “If you ask me if Modric is a great player, I answer yes, and that’s why I voted for Modric in second place. Now, if you ask me who is the be...
