Leicester City have confirmed the signing of West Brom defender Jonny Evans for £3.5million. The Baggies rejected a £21m bid from the Foxes only last summer, but will now lose him cheaply as their Premier League relegation activated a cut-price release clause.
Evans passed his medical at Leicester yesterday and will now officially link up with his team-mates at the King Power Stadium.
Speaking to Leicester’s website on the move, Evans said: “It’s great to join and I’m happy it’s all gone through.When this opportunity came up, it’s one that I couldn’t turn down.It’s an ambitious club, the owners are ambitious and everyone wants to push the club forward. I hope that I can give lots to the team and the club.”
