Premier League newcomers Bournemouth have announced the signing of full-back Tyrone Mings from Ipswich.

The fee for the 22-year-old is reportedly £8million.

Two Cherries players have departed for Portman Road - winger Ryan Fraser has joined Ipswich on a season-long loan, while Brett Pitman has moved on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Mings has signed a four-year deal and becomes Bournemouth's fifth summer signing.

He is looking forward to working under manager Eddie Howe.

He said on afcb.co.uk: "I'm looking forward to learning from the manager's ideas.

"They will be different to what I'm used to but that can only be a good thing.

"I'm here to develop and learn as much as possible."

Mings has impressed since joining Ipswich from non-league Chippenham.

He made 44 appearances in all competitions last season and was named as the Championship's player of the month in September.

Pitman has scored more than 100 goals in two spells with Bournemouth and departs as the club's fourth all-time leading scorer.

Fraser is a Scotland Under-21 winger and moved to the south coast from Aberdeen.
