Manchester City 'have £18m Jonny Evans bid rejected'

Manchester City have reportedly had an £18m bid for West Bromwich Albion captain Jonny Evans rejected.

The Baggies have now turned down two Sky Blues offers for the Northern Ireland international and insisted that he is not for sale, according to BBC Sport.

Arsenal and Leicester City are also said to have expressed interested in Evans, with the latter reportedly failing with a £10m bid this summer.

Evans rose through the ranks of Manchester United's youth setup but left the club in 2015 after falling out of favour with then-manager Louis van Gaal.

The defender has earned 61 caps for Northern Ireland and scored one goal for his country.
