West Bromwich are braced for a bid of up to £25million from Manchester City for centre back Jonny Evans.
City’s £18m bid was rejected, with Albion manager Tony Pulis is anxious to keep Evans and strengthen his defence by signing Tottenham’s Kevin Wimmer for £15m.
Evans missed the opening win over Bournemouth with a hamstring injury and is set to be ruled out of Saturday’s trip to Burnley.
‘Jonny felt his hamstring in training on Friday and we didn't want to take a chance,’ said Pulis.
