Leeds should consider a loan move for Tyrone Mings.
Leeds United’s left-back situation has been everything fans feared after Charlie Taylor’s contract expired.
The Whites did not sign a specialist left-back on a permanent basis last summer and have been paying the price.
Gaetano Berardi got injured on the first day of the season, and subsequent suspensions have meant he has been regularly on the sidelines.
Vurnon Anita has played there with little success, while January signing Laurens De Bock is yet to convince either.
Youngster Tom Pearce is an option, but one Leeds may not wish to put their full trust in just yet.
So a move for a Premier League player could be a sensible move, and one who could become available is Bournemouth talent Tyrone Mings.
Injury has wrecked Mings’ spell at Bournemouth so far but he is now fit again and targeting a first team return.
The problem for Mings is that he is unlikely to get the regular football he needs at the Cherries without proving himself elsewhere again first.
Unlike the terrible loan move to sign Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Mings is a player Leeds fans could have trust in, as he is a proven commodity at Championship level.
Mings starred at Ipswich Town where he made more than 60 appearances for Mick McCarthy’s side before being snapped up by Bournemouth, for a club record fee at the time of £8 million.
Still just 25-years-old, Mings is a huge talent who now needs a move in order to play regularly.
A move to Leeds could suit him as there is clearly a spot available, while a loan switch would suit both parties as it protects The Whites in case of injury and means he does not have to give up on his Premier League dream just yet.
