Danny Ings could be a useful signing

The experienced striker could be a useful acquisition for them. If he can get over his injury problems, he could be a very useful short-term option.

According to The Telegraph, the 33-year-old is set to sign a contract with Leicester City this weekend, and he is expected to complete his medical in the coming days. The Foxes will offer him a one-year contract, and it remains to be seen whether Ings can make his mark with Leicester City next season.

The Foxes had a very disappointing season last year, and they were relegated at the end of the campaign. They need quality players in order to bounce back.

Ings will add leadership and experience

Apart from his goalscoring ability, Ings has a lot of experience from the top flight, and he could be a leader for them in the dressing room. The opportunity to play regularly for the Foxes at this stage of his career will be exciting for the 33-year-old, and it is no surprise that he has chosen to join them. He is unlikely to secure a huge move at this stage of his career, and taking a step back by joining a League One club could prove a wise decision.

Ings will look to play regularly next year and establish himself as a key player for the Foxes. There is no doubt that he has the quality to make a huge impact in the third division of English football, and he could help Leicester City climb back up to the Championship.
