Manchester City look set to bolster their defensive options during the January transfer window with Jonny Evans and Ryan Bertrand part of a five-man shortlist.
Pep Guardiola, whose Manchester City side are 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League, wants to add a centre back and left back to his squad.
Evans is attracting interest from several Premier League sides — including Arsenal — but City could tempt him to return to Manchester after leaving rivals United in 2015.
West Brom boss Alan Pardew will be hoping to keep hold of his star defender but may have to sell in order to rebuild other areas of his faltering side.
