# Arsenal offered £12m for Jonny Evans

Arsenal made a £12m offer for West Brom defender, and captain, Jonny Evans on deadline day.

[According to The Daily Mail,](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5336417/Arsenal-fail-deadline-day-Jonny-Evans.html) Arsenal’s offer was half of West Brom’s valuation of Evans.

The report claims that West Brom were willing to do business, for the right price, to avoid losing Evans for £3m in the summer.

Evans has a clause in his contract that will allow him to leave for £3m if West Brom are relegated to the Championship.

With The Baggies bottom of the Premier League, that may well become a reality now for Evans and West Brom.

Arsenal will then look to snap him up for the cut-price fee ahead of next season.

The 30-year-old has also been subject of interest from league leaders Manchester City.

Despite failing to land Evans on deadline day, Arsenal completed the club-record signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund for a fee in the region of £56m.
