Mings joins Villa in £20million deal

Aston Villa have announced the permanent signing of Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings.

Mings joined Villa on loan for the second half of last season and made 18 appearances as the club earned promotion to the Premier League following a 2-0 victory over Derby in the Sky Bet Championship play-off final.

The defender has signed a three-year contract at Villa Park and it is understood that the fee is an initial £20million.
