Tyrone Mings has been given a hefty price tag of £8 million by Ipswich Town as they look to ward off interest from prying eyes in the Premier League.
Reports suggest up to five sides from the Premier League are interested in the 22-year old left-back who can also play as a centre-half.
It marks a dramatic rise for the man who joined for £10k from Chippenham Town back in 2012.
Ipswich hold out firm on Mings
Newcastle United are reportedly willing to meet the valuation for Mings after scouts have watched him at Portman Road for over 18 months.
Newly appointed manager, Steve McLaren is aware of Ming's ability after managing in the Championship last season.
On transfer deadline day last summer, Mings was subject to a £3-million bid from Crystal Palace which was rejected by Ipswich. He since went on to make 37 appearances for the Tractor boys scoring once last season.
Mings drawing interest from Premier League sides
Ipswich will have a tough summer ahead of them with many star players attracting heavy interest from Premier League sides after failing to gain promotion through the playoffs after defeat Norwich in the semi-finals.
Last summer saw Aaron Cresswell leave for what many fans described as a bargain with West Ham only paying £3.75 million for his services.
Ipswich have so far made one new addition to the side with the signings of Shelbourne's Dylan Connely.
Ipswich start the 2015/16 season with a tricky away trip to Brentford followed up by Sheffield Wednesday, Burnley, Preston, and Brighton to see out August. And a home tie against Stevenage in the League Cup.
