Leicester City are pushing hard to sign West Brom defender Jonny Evans.

The Daily Mail says Leicester are working hard on a deal to sign Evans, but a £4million agent's fee is proving a sticking point.

Evans has a £3m relegation release clause in his contract and is the subject of significant interest from Premier League sides, with Leicester trying for a third window in a row to sign the defender.

But the sizeable up-front price for organising the deal set by Colin Murdock, who represents Evans, is causing serious discussions at the King Power Stadium as it is greater than the transfer cost.
