Arsenal step up interest in £10 million-rated Ipswich left-back Tyrone Mings

Arsenal are stepping up their interest in £10million-rated Ipswich youngster Tyrone Mings.
Gunners scout Pat Holland has watched the defender on several occasions and was present at Saturday's 1-0 home win over promotion rivals Watford.
Mings, 21, cost the Tractor Boys just £10,000 from non-league Chippenham less than two years ago and Crystal Palace had a £3m bid turned down in August.
Since then he has signed a new three-year contract and Ipswich have slapped a £10m fee on his head.
Manager Mick McCarthy thinks Mings is on the threshold of England honours even though he has yet to be called up at Under-21 level.

McCarthy said: "When we sold Aaron Cresswell to West Ham in the summer he
was the best left-back in the Championship.
"Cressy is now being touted for England honours and it will be good competition between him and Tyrone."
