Tyrone Mings made his Villa loan deal a permanent one over the summer, after becoming a quick fan favourite at Villa Park.
His return to Villa started with the defeat to Spurs at the weekend, but the former Bournemouth man made a great impact.

Many Villa fans reacted to this great stat, with lots of fans full of praise for the defender.
Ty thinks the defender is worth every single penny of what Villa paid.

@ffsallyy doesn’t care that Mings was cast out at Bournemouth, because he’s so vital for Villa.

Mings certainly had a great game against Spurs, and was vital in their defensive efforts.

However, Mings might be in for an England call up based on his performances, and this is not too outrageous of a claim.
