NEWS BRITANNIA: Man Utd plot defender swoop; Arsenal’s £15m raid
Arsenal are planning a shock £15m move for West Bromwich Albion defender Jonny Evans, according to reports on Sunday. Arsene Wenger needs top-quality cover at the heart of his defence – and the Sunday Mirror claims he has zeroed in on the Northern Ireland international. Wenger has been rocked by news that Per Mertesacker will be missing for up to four months after he was injured in a pre-season friendly against Lens. Evans enjoyed an impressive first season at The Hawthorns since joining from Manchester United for £8m last year.
