West Bromwich Albion fear a late transfer scramble as the countdown continues over Jonny Evans' future.
The defender could leave Albion before Wednesday's deadline which would allow the Baggies to reinvest the money for new recruits and aid their Premier League survival fight.
They are unable to spend big unless Evans, rated at over £20million, is sold, with Arsenal the most likely destination as Manchester City are targeting Athletic Bilbao's Aymeric Laporte.
The Gunners and City have both enquired about Evans, who can reportedly leave for £3million if Albion are relegated, and boss Alan Pardew is wary of a rush to beat the deadline.
