Newcastle United are trying to do a January deal for Ipswich’s highly-rated defender Tyrone Mings.

Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy is determined not to lose Mings in this window despite interest from Newcastle and Arsenal.

But Newcastle, who are building up a strong core of young English talent in their squad, are pushing for the 21-year-old.

Newcastle would prefer him now as they know there will be more competition in the summer.
