Leicester sign Jonny Evans from West Brom

    Leicester City have signed Jonny Evans from West Brom.

    The Northern Ireland centre-back, who skippered the Baggies, has joined Claude Puel’s team for £3.5m.

    He scored five goals in 96 appearances for the Baggies after joining from Manchester United in 2015.

    At United Evans, 30, won three Premier League titles.

    He said: "When this opportunity came up, it's one that I couldn't turn down.

    "It's an ambitious club, the owners are ambitious and everyone wants to push the club forward.

    "It's a great place to play football, the fans really get behind the team and the players are fantastic."
