A euphoric Aston Villa fan called into talkSPORT on Monday night claiming Tyrone Mings is ‘on par’ with Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk.
Nick the Villan was obviously in a good mood after watching his beloved club’s Championship play-off final victory over Derby County at Wembley Stadium.
And he made a series of bold claims on Kick Off, saying Mings – on loan from Bournemouth – is better than PFA Player of the Year and Champions League finalist Van Dijk.
He also believes the promoted side could beat Chelsea to a top four finish in the Premier League next season.
We’ll have what Nick’s having, please!
The Villa fan said on Monday’s Kick Off: “You look at Tyrone Mings – a lot of people slagged off Van Dijk before he joined Liverpool and became the best defender in the world, apparently.
“But Mings has been immense since January when he joined us.
“I’d say he’s on a par with Van Dijk now.
“I think we could be a top four club next season. We’ve got owners who have got big money.
“Why would Tammy Abraham want to stay at Chelsea? They’re not a top four team anymore!

“I can’t see Tammy leaving us and would Jack Grealish go? Don’t be silly!”
