Ralph Hasenhuttl has confirmed Southampton are in contract talks with Danny Ings.
The 28-year-old is being linked with a move to Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, with his current contract set to expire in the summer of 2022.
Speaking in a press conference on Tuesday, Hasenhuttl said: "We are in negotiations with the player. There is nothing more to say about that.
"If there are any rumours out there, it's not on me to comment. It's always coming from the same direction. It doesn't make sense to comment.
"Everyone knows that he is an important player for us. He wants to stay with us. There is not a reason to speak about it here with the media."
