Highly-rated Ipswich Town defender Tyrone Mings has revealed that he has paid off his mother's debts in his latest act of kindness.

The 22-year-old defender, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal, published a Whatsapp exchange between him and his mother on his Instagram account, where his she thanked her son for "single-handedly" wiping away all of her debt away.

The kind-hearted Mings replied by saying "she deserved every penny".

An Ipswich spokesman said the post was "a private matter between Tyrone and his mum."

But this is not the first time he has demonstrated his generosity on social media.

Last July he bought a brand new shirt for an Ipswich supporter, who had purchased a shirt with his old squad number on, and before that he offered to provide a couple of match tickets for an Ipswich fan who was unable to go and watch his side play because he could not afford it.

Mings, who came through the ranks at Southampton, has made 37 appearances for Ipswich in all competitions this season, as Mick McCarthy's side look to charge into play-off contenetion.
