Leicester City join Arsenal and Manchester City in race for West Brom ace Jonny Evans
Foxes reignite their interest in Northern Ireland central defender but face stiff competition for his signature
LEICESTER CITY are back in for West Brom's Jonny Evans but face a battle for the centre-back's signature.
The 2015-16 Premier League champions wanted the Northern Ireland star in the summer.
But the Baggies were unable to find a replacement and he stayed put.
Now City have joined Manchester City and Arsenal in the race to land him in the transfer window.
says the Foxes, City and the Gunners all had bids of £25million knocked back just a few months ago.
In terms of logistics, Evans, 30, would prefer a move to City so he could keep his young family in the North West.
Not to mention the prospect of picking up a whole array of trophies!
Albion boss Alan Pardew said: "Jonny hasn't come to see me this week so I'm in the dark a little bit.

"We haven't had a phone call from another football club and that's where it stands.
"In terms of our plans to use that money if it was to come in the door, that time is ticking away and that concerns me a little bit more."
West Bromwich are said to have lined up 6ft 4in Egypt international Ali Gabr as a replacement, initially on loan from Zamalek.
