Pat Nevin says Jonny Evans would be a good signing for Manchester City

Former Everton winger Pat Nevin believes Jonny Evans would be a good addition to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City squad.

City have had an £18 million bid for the centre-half rejected by Premier League rivals West Brom, with the Baggies insisting the Northern Ireland international is not for sale.

Evans previously spent nine years at Manchester United, winning three Premier League titles, two League Cups and making 198 appearances.

Guardiola confirmed last month he was still hoping to sign another central defender before the transfer window closed.

Nevin told the BBC that Evans would help to solve Manchester City’s weakness at centre-half.
