Premier League club West Brom are ready to sell Jonny Evans after lining up Ali Gabr as his replacement.

West Brom intend to sell centre-back and skipper Evans this month to free up funds for a new striker.

Arsenal want £25million-rated Evans with Man City also interested after trying to buy him last summer.

Baggies boss Alan Pardew then intends to reinvest the cash on a new striker like Watford’s Troy Deeney or Newcastle’s Aleksandar Mitrovic.
