England international Danny Ings who currently plays for Premier League side Southampton has reportedly emerged as main target for Jose Mourinho who is the handler of Tottenham.

Presently, the 28-year-old forward has refused to sign a new deal at Southampton as he wants to leave the side to where he can play Champions League football.

According to the report on UK Sun, Danny Ings' current contract at Premier League side Southampton will expire in the next 18 months and the club's chiefs have been trying their best to make the player extend his stay.

The report added that Tottenham made inquiry about Danny Ings last year September, but Southampton refused to do any business with Spurs.

Mourinho who is in charge of Spurs is said to be a fan of the England international and he is ready to lure him to his squad.

When asked if he was confident Ings would sign a new deal, boss Ralph Hasenhuttl said after Wednesday night’s FA Cup win over Shrewsbury: “Yes.

“If he wants Champions League football, he must score ten-15 more goals for us and we can go there. It’s not impossible, I don’t think.”
