Manager, David Moyes is very pleased to see the striker join the club and help bolster his attacking options.
“I’m really pleased to add Danny to the squad. He is a proven Premier League goalscorer and will add great competition for places in the attacking third. “We’re looking forward to integrating him into the group, as we go into a busy period in our season.”
Ings joins the Hammers as Aston Villa’s leading scorer with 7 goals this season.
It is still yet to be confirmed if their new no.18 will be eligible in time for their big game this weekend against relegation rivals Everton, with both teams currently sitting in the relegation zone.
