West Bromwich Albion are one of a number of Championship sides keen on signing Tyrone Mings.

According to a report from Sky Sports, West Brom is the most likely destination for Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings this month, despite a number of Championship sides joining the Baggies in the race.

The Daily Mail recently reported that Darren Moore is keen to sign Mings on loan from the Cherries, but faced competition from Aston Villa for his signature.

And it appears that the Villans are not the only team looking to scupper West Brom’s move. Sky Sports reports that a number of clubs in the second tier are interested in the 25-year-old.

However, the report adds that West Brom remain the favourites for his signature, and his arrival would likely lead to Tyrone Mears leaving the club with his contract at The Hawthorns expiring at the end of the month.

If Mings can stay fit, he could be a fantastic signing for the Baggies, whose defensive record has improved significantly in the last month or so, with four clean sheets coming in their last seven games. They had kept just one clean sheet in the Championship before this recent run.

There are other areas of concern within the squad. Replacing Harvey Barnes is a clear issue to address. But getting Mings signed up could be an excellent deal for the promotion-chasers.
