Arsenal have seen an offer for West Brom defender Jonny Evans rejected today.
According to ITV News, West Brom have rebuffed an attempt at negotiations from Arsenal as they look to keep hold of their captain.
The report claims that West Brom wanted £30m to prize Evans away, and would not even consider an offer of under £20m.
However, if West Brom are to be relegated from the Premier League this season, Evans will be available for £3m.
Evans has a relegation clause in his West Brom contract that will allow him to leave for 10% of what West Brom are demanding for the defender in this window.
This means that it could be worthwhile for Arsenal to hold off on a move until the summer to save themselves a bumper transfer fee.
Arsenal completed the club-record signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubmeyang from Borussia Dortmund earlier today for a fee in the region of £56m.
