Bournemouth are reportedly ready to cash in on defender Tyrone Mings and sell him to Championship side Nottingham Forest.
Tyrone Mings looked to have taken his first big step towards the top when he left Ipswich Town for Bournemouth in the summer of 2015 for a cool £8 million.
But, thanks to a series of injuries that have limited him to just eight Premier League starts in three years, Mings’ unsuccessful spell on the South Coast is perhaps only remembered for that bizarre spat with former Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Mirror (July 7, live blog) reports that the Cherries are now prepared to cash in on the 25-year-old. It is understood that Bournemouth are planning to sell Mings to Nottingham Forest. And there is no doubt that Mings would be a fantastic addition to the City Ground – should he stay fit that is.
The Bath-born talent was one of the Championship’s best left-backs during his three years at Ipswich and his pace, power and attacking intent would immediately fill a void in Forest’s starting XI.
But, while the City Ground faithful would love to see Mings arrive, it seems their Bournemouth counterparts are not so keen on the move.
Although the Cherries are reported to have lost their faith, some fans have not, and believe Mings still has a bright future at the Vitality Stadium.
