West Brom captain Jonny Evans set to sign a new deal after club rejects Leicester advances

West Bromwich Albion captain Jonny Evans is set to sign a new contract after the club rejected the advances of Leicester City.

Sportsmail understands the former Manchester United man, 29, will be rewarded with a new deal at The Hawthorns in the near future.

Leicester were considering an improved £15million bid for West Bromwich Albion defender Jonny Evans after seeing their opening offer of £10m rejected last week.

It is believed Leicester launched the first bid before Hull accepted a deal worth £17m for Harry Maguire but head coach Craig Shakespeare still felt there was room for the Northern Ireland international in his squad.
