Evans completes £3.5m Leicester City move

Leicester City have completed the £3.5 million signing of Jonny Evans from West Brom.

The centre-back joins the Foxes on a three-year deal after the Foxes agreed to pay the former Manchester United defender's relegation release clause.

Northern Ireland international Evans had attracted interest from Arsenal and Manchester City during the January transfer window, but the Baggies were able to hold on to him for the remainder of the campaign.

Instead, it is the Foxes who have snapped him up after West Brom dropped to the Championship.

“It’s great to join and I’m happy it’s all gone through," Evans told the club's website.
