„Sky Sports“ sources claim that „Manchester United“ center-back Jonny Evans will undergo a medical examination at „West Bromwich“ club in the near future.
If this transfer takes place, „West Bromwich“'s Joleon Lescott should move to „Aston Villa“, but in order for this transfer to happen, „West Bromwich“ first wanted to acquire a new center-back themselves.
It seems that Louis van Gaal no longer needs J. Evans.
„West Bromwich“ turned their attention to him when the club failed to reach an agreement with „Tottenham“ defender Federico Fazio. J. Evans's transfer is expected to cost about 6-8 million pounds.
„I would like to acquire J. Evans“ - said „West Bromwich“ coach Tony Pulis today. „Jonny would be a great purchase for us, but everything will depend on money and the player's will.“
The 27-year-old Northern Irish national team footballer rose through the ranks of the „Manchester United“ club hierarchy from the youth teams, making his debut in the first team in 2007 and playing a total of 196 matches for the club.
