'The players know we're commodities. It's driven by money': Aston Villa ace Tyrone Mings says stars have been left with little choice over Project Restart

Tyrone Mings gets out of his office chair and turns around to face his bookshelves. He picks out a hardback at random.

'"Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable", by Tim Grover,' he says. 'He's the trainer who worked with Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. I love that book.'

Mings reaches for another one. 'Actually,' he says, 'the majority of these are business books. This one is probably the best book I've ever read. It's by Ryan Holiday. It's about stillness, really.' He holds it up to the camera. It is called 'Ego is the Enemy'.
