Cascarino rates Southampton ace Ings ahead of Arsenal captain Aubameyang

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino rates Southampton ace Danny Ings ahead of Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Cascarino has not questioned Aubameyang's goalscoring record but claims Ings is more of a constant threat for Southampton.

Ings scored his 16th league goals of the campaign on Friday in the 3-0 win at Norwich.

“When you look at Aubameyang's numbers, they're extraordinary," Cascarino told talkSPORT.

“But when you compare him to a player like Roberto Firmino for Liverpool, who hasn't got the goals say the likes of Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres did, but he does far more for the team.

Danny Ings is like that, too, for me. He's done this all season.

“Let's not forget, Ings' career has been wrecked by injury and he's come back and looks so good, he just leads the line brilliantly.

“He's a consistent threat, even when the team isn't playing well he's still trying his socks off."
