Arsenal have turned their attentions to West Brom defender Jonny Evans due to Per Mertesacker's injury and are prepared to pay £15m for the Northern Ireland international.

British newspaper the 'Sunday People' is reporting that Arsene Wenger is lining up a shock move for the former Manchester United defender. 

Arsenal have a shortage of numbers in defence and Evans could be the ideal man to fill the void left by the German, who will miss the opening months of the season. 

The Gunners have also been linked with Valencia defender Shkodran Mustafi and Wenger is also contemplating using midfielder Francis Coquelin as a makeshift defender.
