# Aston Villa sign Tyrone Mings from Bournemouth

Aston Villa have completed the signing of Tyrone Mings, with the defender joining on a permanent basis from fellow Premier League side Bournemouth, [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11677/11758839/tyrone-mings-joins-aston-villa-from-bournemouth) report.

The towering 26-year-old spent six months on loan at Villa Park and was instrumental in Villa’s promotion-winning side last season.

Dean Smith was desperate to bring the central defender back to the Midlands ahead of the new season, with Mings, who became a fan favourite, making 18 appearances for the club during the previous campaign.

The deal for Mings is thought to be worth an initial £20 million, which could rise to £25 million with add-ons.

Mings becomes Aston Villa’s sixth summer signing, with a formal announcement expected by the club later today.

The defender follows Jota, Kortney Hause, Anwar El Ghazi, Matt Targett and Wesley Moraes through the door at Villa Park on a permanent basis, and the defender looks set to play a key role in Villa’s top-flight return.
