Ings, 30, has only featured for 12 minutes across the Villans last two Premier League games despite scoring a brace in the final game before the World Cup.

Frank Lampard wants more firepower to rescue his Everton side from relegation[/caption]
This has led to question marks over his future at the club under Unai Emery.
And now it appears Villa are willing to allow the former Southampton and Liverpool striker to leave.
However, the Midlands outfit want a permanent transfer solution, meaning they do not want to let him go on loan.
Following this, Dominic King has reported a loan offer from Frank Lampard’s Everton has been rejected.
The Toffees fell to a 4-1 defeat against Brighton in their most recent game at Goodison Park, which saw them on the receiving end of a chorus of boos.
Under Lampard, they currently sit 16th in the Premier League, one point outside of the relegation zone having played a game more than all the teams below them.
They are also among the lowest scorers in the division.
Having recalled Ellis Simms from his loan at Sunderland, they are now looking at bringing in another forward who will certainly have the firepower to keep them up.

Ings fits this profile given his solid goalscoring record in the top tier.
However, unless they pay a full fee for him, Everton will not be adding the £16million-valued striker to their squad.
