Danny Ings: Liverpool sign Burnley striker

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Burnley striker Danny Ings.

The England Under-21 international is out of contract at Turf Moor and will join the Anfield club on 1 July subject to a medical.

The Clarets are entitled to compensation for Ings but the clubs have not yet agreed a transfer fee.

Ings, 22, scored 11 goals in the Premier League this season but could not prevent the club from being relegated.

The former Bournemouth forward is in the England Under-21 squad for this month's European Championship in the Czech Republic.

He becomes the second summer signing at Anfield after James Milner joined from Manchester City last week.

Liverpool forwards Mario Balotelli, Fabio Borini, Rickie Lambert and Daniel Sturridge scored eight league goals between them as Brendan Rodgers' side finished sixth in the Premier League.

If the two clubs cannot agree on a fee for Ings then the price will be set by a tribunal as the player is under the age of 24.

"We have rejected an offer made by Liverpool, but will continue to have dialogue with the club in order to reach a resolution over the fee."

Ings joined the Clarets and scored 43 goals in 130 games for the club.
