Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Jonny Evans (Picture: Getty)

Arsenal supporters have certainly experienced their fair share of misery in recent transfer windows but the latest rumour to emerge has tipped many over the edge.

Reports suggest the Gunners are lining up a surprise £15million offer for West Brom defender Jonny Evans this summer as Arsene Wenger scours the market for defensive reinforcements.

Evans, 28, received endless stick from Arsenal fans during his nine seasons with Manchester United so a large section of Gooners were less than pleased to be linked with the defender – to say the very least.

Some promised to burn all of their Arsenal shirts, while others threatened to spark a full-scale protest at the Emirates if the north London outfit do happen to seal a deal for the Northern Ireland centre-back.




It appears fans are desperate for Wenger to bring in a defender before the 2016/17 season gets underway… just as long as it isn’t Evans who comes through the doors.

Here’s how supporters reacted to the speculation surrounding Evans…
