Ings still unclear on his next move
Danny Ings says his future remains "up in the air" as the race intensifies for the England Under-21 international.

The Burnley forward's contract expires at Turf Moor on June 30 and he has already made it clear he will be leaving the recently-relegated Premier League club.

Ings, Burnley's top scorer with 11 in his maiden season in the top flight, says he has yet to make a decision on his next destination, concentrating instead on having a short break ahead of travelling to next month’s European U21s Championship with Gareth Southgate’s squad.

"My holiday's the first thing on my mind. I'm looking forward to a bit of downtime and after that it's going to be hard work again," he told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"It's going to be a short summer for me this year but I love football so I'd play it every day if I could.

"After that I'll sit down with my agent and discuss my future then.

"At the moment it's all up in the air. I don't know what's going to happen."

Ings made the move to the Clarets from Bournemouth in 2011 and believes he owes the club a lot.

"It's a sad time for me. Burnley Football Club helped me mature from a boy to a man and I can't thank them everyone from the club enough, from the board to the staff at the training ground and the staff at the club," he added.

"It's been a fantastic journey, so of course it would be upsetting for it to come to an end.

"But that's football and it happens with every player. I thank everyone from the fans to the staff, everyone's been fantastic."
