Tyrone Mings has played a huge part in the Villa side that has reached the play-offs this season, with his loan spell at the club nearing its conclusion.
Mings is on loan at the club from Premier League side AFC Bournemouth and has been a revelation since joining the Midlands side in January.
The defender fell out of favour at the south coast side due to an injury that kept the Englishman out for a while but the regular football he has been playing at Aston Villa has helped get his development back on track.
Cherries boss Eddie Howe spoke with the Bournemouth Echo, as cited on Birmingham Live, about the defender and his future.
I will sit down with Tyrone at the end of the season and we will discuss the next step.
I have been in regular contact with him throughout his loan period. The most important thing is he concentrates on Aston Villa and tries to help them get promotion and then we will see.
Mings has looked like he is getting back to his best in his time at Villa and Howe is happy to see the defender get playing time.
That was the thing we all wanted, it is what Tyrone wanted and needed to do – play a run of games – and he has done that.
He has performed very well. He has been a big part of the Villa team that have been on such a great run, so I am delighted for Tyrone that the loan has been so successful.
Aston Villa face rivals West Brom in the play-off semi-final as they attempt to return back to the big time and Howe thinks the experience will benefit the club and the player.
These are games as a footballer you want to be involved in and you are desperate to experience.
It will be great for Tyrone’s education to play in those games, to experience that kind of pressure – those games are some of the most pressured you would ever face because there is so much on them.
