Southampton-raised Danny Ings has no interest in leaving Burnley this season.

The England under-21 striker is out of contract in the summer and has been linked with a move away from Turf Moor.

Ings was linked with a move to Saints both last summer and again in recent weeks ahead of the January transfer window opening.

But the 22-year-old, who used to play Tyro League junior football in Southampton, has no plans to walk out in the middle of a relegation fight, though.

"I'm contracted until the end of the season and that's the way it's going to be," he said.

"I will fight for the team as much as I can and do my best for them.

"If an offer comes in, I won't be looking at it."

Ings has scored 51 goals in 153 appearances for the Clarets since joining from Bournemouth and his goals were pivotal in their promotion last season.

Ings scored 21 Championship goals last season, plus another five in the cups, while he has netted four times in 16 Premier League appearances this season, including a brace in a 2-1 success at Stoke.

He admits to being proud of his name being linked to other clubs, but is taking it no further.

"I'll just see it as a sign of confidence, take it into my game and do as well as I can for Burnley," he added.

"It's flattering, especially for a young lad. It's quite easy to lose concentration for some people. But I'm not that sort of character."
