Wenger: We're Not Signing Mings - Ipswich Town News
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has dismissed claims that he will look to sign Town left-back Tyrone Mings during the January transfer window.
The Frenchman had previously confirmed that his club has been watching the 21-year-old and the Gunners have repeatedly been linked with a January move for the former Chippenham Town man.
But asked whether he would be signing Mings to help solve his side’s defensive problems, Wenger said: "No. The intensity of the link is not down to us.”
Arsenal are amongst a host of Premier League clubs to have regularly sent representatives to watch Mings in action this season.
Despite the interest, Town boss Mick McCarthy has repeatedly stated that he expects to keep his better players in the January transfer window and has said it would take an "astronomical bid” for someone such as Mings to be sold.
