The former United defender is a standout player for the Baggies this season despite the team’s horrible performances throughout the campaign.

José Mourinho is reportedly in the market for a very reliable and experienced defender in the summer so as to bolster his defensive abilities ahead of next season and he can get all of that in the Northern Irish player.

It should be recalled that Evans was treated badly by former Manchester United and Netherland national team coach Louis Van Gaal when he forced him out of the club in 2015 after leaving him out of the team’s starting lineup despite the player’s impressive showings.

According to Metro, the 31-year-old, who is valued at £12m by transfermarkt, could see his financial worth depreciate to as low as £3m should West Brom fail to avoid being relegated to the Championship league by the close of the season.
