Manchester City senior officials reportedly held a meeting to discuss potential transfer moves for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred and West Bromwich Albion centre-back Jonny Evans.
Goal's Sam Lee reported how sporting director Txiki Begiristain led meetings before City's 3-1 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday. The result put the Citizens 12 points clear at the top, but the club is still ready to reshape its squad during the January transfer window this month, per Lee:
"The Blues have been in negotiations with West Brom regarding a move for Evans over the past few days, although rumours that a deal has already been struck are believed to be wide of the mark.
