Leicester City FC transfer news: Jonny Evans passes medical and agrees terms ahead of Foxes move

Jonny Evans has passed his medical at Leicester City and has agreed terms on a three-year deal with the club, according to reports.

The 2015/16 Premier League winners triggered the defender’s £3.5million release clause after West Brom were relegated from the top flight last month.

The Foxes have captured Evans, 30, for £17.5million less than what West Brom turned down for their captain.

The Northern Ireland international nearly left the Baggies during the past two transfer windows but the club rejected a £21million bid from Leicester as well as an £18million offer from Manchester City.
