Aston Villa Transfers: 5 Creative Midfield Options To Consider In January

2. Danny Ings

If Lambert is looking for a young player that can score goals from attacking midfield then Burnley€™s Danny Ings should fit the bill. The player is making quite an impact in the Championship just now with 15 goals from his 23 games. I know that Villa might be looking for more of a creator than finisher €“ but with only 19 league goals scored this season, goalscorers must be on the agenda. What€™s really impressive about Ings is his scoring record when in the attacking midfield role €“ which reads 11 goals from 12 starts as well as an average rating of 7.46. Overall, the player takes a healthy 3.2 shots and 1.3 key passes per game. Still just 21, but with Lambert€™s reputation for signing young players €“ Villa just might prove to be the perfect place to continue his career. Ings started his career playing lower league football after emerging from the youth system at Bournemouth €“ and continued that strong grounding by playing Championship football with Burnley. His talent has not gone unnoticed as he has also recently made two appearances in the England U21 team that has also seen him score two goals.
