Danny Ings would welcome Christian Benteke "competition"

Liverpool striker Danny Ings insists that he welcomes "competition" amid speculation that Aston Villa's Christian Benteke will join the club.

Danny Ings has admitted that he would welcome "competition" for a starting place at Liverpool amid speculation that Christian Benteke could be heading to Anfield.

The Reds have reportedly triggered the Belgium international's release clause with Aston Villa, and is expected to undergo a medical on Monday.

"At a club like this it is expected to sign top players. It can only lift you as a player, because it is all competition to get that starting place," the 22-year-old is quoted as saying by the Daily Star.

"I moved here knowing that there was going to be big signings here on top of the quality that is already here. For me it is all about developing and being the best I can be every day and try to compete against those players.

"It is only good additions for me to train and play alongside. It is all down to the staff and manager who picks the side. All you can do is improve every day and do the best you can day in day out."

Ings joined Liverpool from Burnley at the start of the transfer window.
