Aston Villa target Tyrone Mings has reportedly flown back to England following his summer holiday.
Speculation about Aston Villa’s attempt to re-sign Tyrone Mings are reportedly about to ‘gather pace’.
The Birmingham Mail reported on Sunday that the Bournemouth-owned defender returned to England yesterday and will begin talking with Aston Villa about a potential permanent transfer.
Mings played a huge role in helping the Villans win Premier League promotion via the playoffs last month, after joining on loan from the Cherries in January.
In doing so, the 26-year-old is a hugely popular figure among fans of the West Midlands club, most of whom would absolutely love to see him return to Bodymoor Heath on a long-term basis.
According to The Birmingham Mail, Mings would cost around £15 million and Dean Smith should try and tie up a transfer as soon as possible.
Smith has already re-signed Kortney Hause, who also joined Villa on loan during the winter. Fans were delighted with Hause returning, but Mings is the real dream here.
At 26, he is a perfect age. Mings is old enough to have had plenty of experience, and yet young enough to ensure he still has many more years left.
