# Aston Villa fans on Twitter call for Tyrone Mings to be signed permanently and made captain

**It’s fair to say that Tyron Mings has made a huge impact on the Villains since he made his move from Bournemouth to Villa Park on a loan deal. After less than a month at the club, the supporters are desperate to see him added to their squad on a permanent basis, and his level-headed hands-on approach has led to calls for him to be their skipper.**

Dean Smith has obviously recruited someone who is as useful to the Villains off the pitch as he is on it in Mings and having a player like that is always huge. Whilst the colossal defender may not have gotten off to a great start when he horrifically injured Reading’s Nelson Oliveira by accidentally stamping on the striker’s head, he is winning the fans over with his performances and his off-field behaviour.

A lot of the defender’s time at Bournemouth was spent on the bench and in the treatment room, so for him to be given a chance to play regular football in the Championship with Villa will be just as refreshing for him as it is for the fans. The next step for Mings will be a permanent move to the Midlands and being instated as the club captain, as the fans obviously see him as a future skipper.

The Villains love seeing Mings both on and off the pitch at the club and will be desperate to make him their first permanent summer signing.
