West Ham join the race to sign Jonny Evans

West Ham are looking sign West Brom defender Johnny Evans this summer, report the Mirror.

Evans has a £3 million relegation release clause in his contract and is known to be on the radar of a number of Premier League clubs.

Crystal Palace, Everton, Leicester and Newcastle are all interested in the Northern Irishmanm who will be high demand after a number of impressive seasons for club and country.

West Brom are currently 20th in the Premier League and their relegation could be confirmed this weekend with three games still left to play.

The Baggies are braced to lose the 30-year-old for a cut-price fee after rejecting a bid of £21 million for him from Manchester City last summer.

The Hammers are looking to bring in a new centre-back this summer and with over 200 games of experience in the league, Evans looks the perfect fit.

His current wages are around £50,000 a week, but Evans will likely want a pay rise and that should be no problem for the East London club as they look to bolster their side and finish in the top half next season.
