West Brom head coach Tony Pulis: 'Transfer talk unsettled Jonny Evans'

West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Pulis claims that talk of a move to Manchester City has unsettled defender Jonny Evans.

West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Pulis has claimed that an offer from Manchester City during the summer transfer window has affected Jonny Evans.

The Northern Ireland international was the subject of a bid in the region of £30m before a deal failed to materialise before the end of August, and the 29-year-old is yet to help the Baggies to a win in the Premier League this season.

Nacer Chadli also remained at The Hawthorns - despite alleged interest from Swansea City - and Pulis feels that neither player has been able to replicate their form of last season.

The 59-year-old is quoted by The Mirror as saying: "There was a bid from Leicester and it was left to the club. As it was with Arsenal and Man City.

"Would Jonny have gone to Leicester? I don't know, you'd have to speak to him. As the club didn't accept the bid, it didn't happen.

"I think the window affects players. It affected both him and Nacer Chadli. It does affect them, no question."

West Brom sit in 11th place in the Premier League table ahead of Monday night's trip to Leicester City.
