Wenger Determined To Beat Mourinho To Star Player Signature

Northern Irish international Jonny Evans has been heavily linked with a move away from West Brom in recent times after emerging as a target for a handful of top English clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal.

Evans is an experienced defender but he has been out of form this season at the Hawthorns. yet, various sides are still ready to fight for his signature this month.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is keen on signing a new defender to add more power to his back line, and he has identified Jonny as a good guy that can get things done

And there are recent reports TIMES that the North Londoners are stepping up efforts to sign Evans ahead of other clubs interested in his signature.

It was also added that Arsene Wenger is set to make a bid for the 30-year-old any moment from now.

Evans has a contract with the baggies meant to expire in 2019, and he is rated at £30million.

Arsenal have been inconsistent this season so far, and Wenger needs to take advantage of the ongoing winter transfer window to sign quality players if he is to end the term among the top four.

Jonny can partner with Mustafi and Koscielny in the back three at North London if he does end up joining the Gunners.
