Arsenal are closing on a deal for Ipswich Town defender Tyrone Mings.

The Telegraph says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is expected to bring in Mings, 21, from Ipswich Town for around £8 million with the 6ft 3in left-back regarded, like Calum Chambers, as someone who could progress into a central defender.

"If we find one we will do it," Wenger said of is hunt for another centre-half having sold Thomas Vermaelen to Barcelona.

"Without any doubt. If we find the right player we will do it."
