Football League – 5 youngsters who have impressed so far

Danny Ings

In the past, he’s never been known for his goalscoring, but with six league goals in nine games. He’s been instrumental to Burnley’s excellent start to the season.

The former Bournemouth striker has blossomed since the loss of Charlie Austin, it was feared that Burnley would struggle without the prolific Austin. However, Ings has proved to be just as clinical. He may have only just emerged this season, but he admits he has always backed himself to score goals: “I’ve always backed myself to say that if I play as a striker, I’ll score goals, and it’s showing this season.”

If he maintains his form, and likewise his strike partner, Sam Vokes does. Then Burnley could be a serious dark horse for the automatic promotion spots.
