da casino: According to The Mirror, West Bromwich Albion centre-back Jonny Evans is ready to snub interest from Arsenal in this summer’s transfer window.
What’s the story?
da bet vitoria: Evans was strongly linked with a move away from West Brom last summer and again in January, but ultimately remained with the Baggies.
It is understood that the centre-back can leave the Hawthorns for £3m this summer if, as expected, West Brom are relegated from the Premier League.
According to The Mirror, Arsenal are still interested in Evans, but the Northern Ireland international is not overly keen on relocating to London, and will therefore reject interest from the Gunners to hold out for a move to Manchester City.
Arsenal are expected to be in the market for at least one new defender this summer, and it would be a surprise if Evans turned down the chance to join the Europa League semi-finalists despite reports suggesting that he is not too keen.
Should Arsenal push for Evans?
If Evans is really not fussed about making the move to Arsenal then it is unlikely that the London club will follow up on their interest.

After all, Arsenal are Arsenal, and Evans will be facing the prospect if playing Championship football next season if he does not secure a new club.
For £3m, the deal is an absolute no-brainer. West Brom have had a poor season, but Evans has again been consistent, and the defender showed incredible promise at Manchester United before leaving due to concerns over first-team football.
Now 30, Evans, who has also been linked with West Ham United, has proven himself in the Premier League, and would be the perfect player to boost Arsenal’s options in the centre of the defence.
It is promising to be a transfer scramble for Evans at the end of the season, and despite the latest reports, it would be a shock if the defender had ruled out a move to the Emirates Stadium.
