Arsenal would be better off with Southampton striker Danny Ings leading the line than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, says Tony Cascarino. “When you look at Aubameyang’s numbers, they’re extraordinary," Cascarino told <a href="https://talksport.com/topic/weekend-sports-breakfast/" target="_blank">TalkSPORT</a>. “But when you compare him to a player like Roberto Firmino for Liverpool, has 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."
