Leicester City are trying to negotiate the £3m transfer of Jonny Evans from West Bromwich Albion.

Having tried to sign Evans in the last two transfer windows, City were expected to make an early move for the Northern Ireland international as soon as this window opened in a bid to beat competition for the central defender.

Albion’s relegation has triggered a release clause in Evans’ contract which is as low as £3m.

Albion rejected several bids from City, the highest being £23m a year ago.

However, it has been reported that Evans’ agent wants a £4m fee to complete the deal, which has caused a delay.

City are looking to bolster their defensive options after the departure of Robert Huth, and they may also finalise a deal to sign Aleksandar Dragovic from Bayer Leverkusen.

City are trying to get as much of their transfer business done early this summer with the World Cup in the middle of a a transfer window that closes earlier this year.
