West Brom captain Jonny Evans is on the brink of joining Leicester City for £3.5m after terms were agreed with the Premier League side.

Foxes manager Claude Puel is a long-time admirer of the 30-year-old Northern Ireland defender.

The Frenchman has been told he will remain as boss despite speculation over his future at the end of last term.

Evans has spent three years with the Baggies but was close to leaving during the last two transfer windows.

It is understood the fee, contained in a relegation clause in former Manchester United defender Evans' contract, is payable in two instalments of £1.75m.

Id say hes worth a shot at starting a bidding war and trying to steal him.
Hes worth more than that and would be a great signing if we could get him under £5mill

Apparently on around 45k a week at west brom.
In comparison Soloman Rondon is on a reported 55k a week but people seem to think we can get him.

I wouldnt say he is majorly out of reach but his experiance could be worth the extra outlay
