Jonny Evans is waiting on Manchester City offloading Eliaquim Mangala before leaving West Brom this week.
Pep Guardiola identified the 29-year-old as an ideal addition at the back earlier this month and believes Evans is keen to make the switch amid Leicester City’s firm interest.
City will likely have to shell out close to £30million for the Northern Ireland international, who coincidentally will use their training facilities this week while on international duty.
Michael O’Neill’s side are stationed in Manchester before travelling to San Marino for a World Cup qualifier on Friday.
