JONNY ON SPOT FOR HAMMERS

- BY DARREN LEWIS

WEST HAM will enter the race for Jonny Evans at the end of the season.

Boss David Moyes is a big fan of the £25million-rated West Brom defender, who has a bargain escape clause of £3m if the Baggies are relegated.

Leicester and Everton are also interested in 30-year-old Evans (above).

The Hammers want to sign at least one central defender following Jose Fonte’s move to the Chinese Super League. Everton boss Sam Allardyce is ready to move for Evans if he is entrusted with the Goodison Park job long term.

Arsenal and Manchester City were both keen on the Northern Ireland internatio­nal last month.

But City opted instead for the potential of Aymeric Laporte, 23, from Athletic Bilbao while Arsene Wenger refused to meet West Brom’s valuation.
