Tyrone Mings signs new Aston Villa contract through to 2027
Tyrone Mings has signed a new contract at Aston Villa to keep him at the club until 2027.
Mings, who was set to enter the final 12 months of his existing deal, has signed a new one-year extension at Villa. The Athletic reported last month that contract talks were scheduled with the defender, who was keen to remain at the club having joined from Bournemouth in 2019.

This season, Mings has played through the pain barrier after making his long-awaited return from a second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and defying expectations from doctors that he would miss more than two months following another knee injury sustained against West Ham United in January. In the end, he returned inside four weeks, risking his own health in the resulting matches.
The England international's return from injury has contributed to what manager Unai Emery described as 'fantastic form', with Villa winning six of the previous eight games he had started and keeping four clean sheets.
Earlier this year, Mings assumed a role on the board of directors for Euro 2028, which will be hosted in the United Kingdom but has no plans to retire soon.
In total, the 32-year-old made 21 appearances across all competitions last season and is a valued leader by Emery. Mings will continue to provide competition for Pau Torres for a starting berth as Villa's left-sided centre-back.

IU softball commit overcame 3 ACL tears to lead Greenfield-Central. 'She's a different breed'
GREENWOOD — Josie White remembers sitting with her Greenfield-Central softball coach at an IU camp a few years ago, forced to watch off to the side as she recovered from a torn ACL. 'If I have to do this again, I'm quitting. This sucks,' she told her coach. "And that was just the first time," White said. 'I went through it two more times.' The second half of that quote is enough to make most anyone do a double take. Greenfield-Central senior Josie White — who just last week announced her commitment to IU softball — tore her ACL three times during her high school career. The second occurrence limited her to just 18 games as a sophomore, then the third ended her junior campaign after only 12 games. And each time, the sure-handed shortstop worked her way back. Noblesville honors assistant's memory: 'If you were coached by him, you knew what love was.' IHSAA softball semistate: Statewide scores, schedule, recaps "I knew I wasn't ready to be done," she said following Saturday's 6-1 loss to Floyd Central in the Class 4A semistate semifinal. "I love softball and even before I committed, I was like, 'I'm not done. I can't give up this sport. I have no reason to quit.'" 'She's a different breed,' added senior first baseman Leilani Forshey. 'Not very many people would tear their ACL three times and be like, 'Yeah, let's go back. Let's try it again.'' White played the entirety of her senior season and used those 27 games to make up for lost time, batting .500 with 51 hits, 41 runs and 13 RBIs. She was nearly perfect in the field, recording 95 putouts and 16 assists on 116 chances with 12 double plays, and showed off her wheels, swiping a team-high 16 bases. A career .467 hitter (134 hits in 80 games), White scored twice as part of a stirring come-from-behind win over Pendleton Heights (trailed 7-0) in the sectional, then went 3-for-4 with three runs scored amidst a regional rout of Lawrence North. On Saturday — one year since her most-recent knee surgery — White clocked a couple hits and scored Greenfield-Central's (19-8) lone run against the Highlanders. "It's been great (having White as a teammate). I couldn't be more thankful that she's been healthy this year," junior third baseman Savvanna Riall said, fighting back tears as she continued. "I've been playing with her since I was 10, so to see her have a full season and have a great one — that's pretty special." Those long-running ties and deep connections with her teammates helped White keep going these past few years, pushing her through the moments of doubt. She also played with junior second baseman Kristen Wineinger growing up, the two starting out at pitcher's helper and first base before moving to their current positions. At home, her parents — former college baseball and softball players themselves — have been a constant source of motivation. "I wanted to be like them — to be better than them," White smirked. "(My parents) got me here and I'm trying to use what they helped me build, my skills and everything." Asked what it's meant to play for Greenfield-Central and to lead the Cougars to their first sectional and regional championships since 2017, White replied: "It's just been huge." "I think everyone around me knows I try to lead by example as best I can and these people are just so amazing, as softball players and outside of it," she continued. "Great friendships have been built. I just loved being here."

Arsenal: Morgan Rogers, Rodrygo and Gunners' latest plan for overhaul of attack this summer
Arsenal are admirers of Morgan Rogers - but they would face a fight to land the Aston Villa star this summer. The Gunners are in the market for attacking reinforcements during the upcoming transfer window and they want to sign a wide forward, as well as a striker. Advertisement Arsenal are tracking a number of targets and Rogers is believed to be a player that the recruitment team at the club like. A deal for the 22-year-old, however, will be tough to complete as Villa view him as a key part of their plans. Rogers was a top performer for the club last season and finished the campaign with 10 goals and eight assists in 37 Premier League games. The attacking midfielder has shone under Unai Emery and, in December of last year, spoke glowingly about working under him. 'Him (Emery) and Pep [Guardiola] are kind of similar in a way,' Rogers told TNT Sports. 'In terms of the way they structure their teams, in terms of the way that they're so demanding of you, structurally and tactically. Advertisement 'But obviously working closer with Unai Emery than I did obviously with Pep, we've got that relationship where it's like a love-hate kind of thing. Morgan Rogers was a standout performer for Aston Villa last season (REUTERS) 'He wants the best of me. He's going to be demanding. He's going to be on top of me non-stop throughout the week, because he knows my capabilities. 'He knows what I can do. He wants to push me, wants to improve me and that's the best way for me. With me and him, it's perfect.' Arsenal have looked at several attacking targets and they are long-term admirers of Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams. Leroy Sane could be available on a free transfer if he refuses to sign a new contract with Bayern Munich, but his wage demands may prove problematic. Advertisement Rodrygo has also been linked with Arsenal over the past week, however whether he is available this summer will only become clearer once he has held talks with new Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso. If Rodrygo does come on the market, he would likely attract interest from a host of clubs from all over Europe.
