Liverpool expect to discover in the next 48 hours how much they will have to pay Burnley for striker Danny Ings.

The Reds have been told they will be informed in writing about the figure set by the tribunal following Tuesday’s lengthy hearing in Manchester.

England international Ings appeared in front of what’s officially known as the Professional Football Compensation Committee (PFCC), along with the club’s head of legal Jonathan Bamber.

Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre wasn’t present due to his attendance at the Hillsborough Inquest in Warrington.

The Reds provided a wealth of evidence to support their argument that their £6million valuation of Ings was fair. Burnley have always insisted he was worth around £10million.

Ings left the Clarets for Anfield last summer after his contract expired. However, as he was under the age of 24, Burnley were entitled to a compensation fee.

Burnley chief executive Dave Baldwin said recently: “The reason it is different to the ordinary is this tribunal claim will be the biggest in history.

“The key to this was that we bring the claim against Liverpool, therefore we had to prepare an extremely robust case.

“You’re talking a documentation bundle of probably in excess of 400 or 500 pages with witness statements, evidence, analytics about player performance, the statement as to why we make a judgment as to what we believe the player is worth, compared to what Liverpool want to offer.”

Ings is close to returning to full training with the Reds – some six months after he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament.

The striker had enjoyed a flying start to his Liverpool career following last summer’s move from Burnley. He scored three goals in five starts and was rewarded with a full England debut against Lithuania before suffering the crushing injury setback.

His return would be timely with Divock Origi unlikely to play again this season due to ankle ligament damage.
