Arsenal rival Man City for West Brom captain Jonny Evans

Arsenal have joined Manchester City in the battle for West Brom captain Jonny Evans.

The Sun says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is hoping to fill the void set to be left by Shkodran Mustafi with the Northern Irish centre-back.

Mustafi is set to join Inter Milan this summer after just one season in the Premier League.

City boss Pep Guardiola has been keen to land Evans in recent weeks, but have rejected two offers already as they hold out for at least £30million.

While the Etihad giants appeared to be the only club in the running for the West Brom man, Wenger has now thrown Arsenal's name into the mix.

Leicester also saw a £21m bid turned down this week.
