Everton could be on the verge of sealing the transfer of Manchester United defender Jonny Evans after bookmakers slashed the odds on the move.

The Northern Ireland international was unable to establish himself as a first team regular under Louis van Gaal last season, and has been linked with several Premier League clubs.

Arsenal, West Brom and Southampton were thought to be interested but a move to Everton may now be on with Sky Bet pricing up the deal at odds-on.

Sky Bet said: ‘We have reported a run of money on Everton signing Jonny Evans, with his odds on a move to Goodison Park currently 4/5.’


Sky Bet's odds on Evans' club after the summer window Everton: 4/5 Man Utd: 11/10 West Brom: 12/1 Arsenal: 16/1

Evans, 27, has made over 150 league appearances but only started 14 games last season and has been heavily tipped to leave Old Trafford this summer.
