West Brom, Derby and Nottingham Forest had also expressed an interest in Mings but it seems the 25-year-old has been seduced the regular playing time offered to him by Villa boss Dean Smith.

Mings has made just two Premier League starts this season and has struggled with injuries since joining the Cherries from Ipswich in 2015.

Villa have also been linked with deadline day moves for Watford’s Nathaniel Chalobah, Southampton’s Charlie Austin and Middlesbrough’s Britt Assombalonga.
