Newcastle fans have been debating a summer swoop for Jonny Evans, and fans are split on signing the Northern Irishman.

It’s been an odd season for Newcastle fans, as they have rather suddenly gone from competing with the likes of West Brom and Stoke to being linked with their players.

Every season there are relegated players who jump ship to Premier League sides, and West Brom’s Jonny Evans has been linked to a whole host of Premier League clubs.

Newcastle’s number one priority at the moment is of course finding a consistent goalscorer, but nonetheless Evans could be a valuable addition.

The 30 year-old would be an excellent third option to have at centre back behind Jamaal Lascelles and Florian Lejeune, and he could even compete with Lejeune for a starting place, but it doesn’t seem like the Toon Army are all that convinced.

The Magpies are expected to face competition from the likes of Everton and West Ham if they do go for the 68-cap Northern Irish international, but over half of the fans who voted will be happy if he goes elsewhere, as 53 per cent voted not to swoop for the centre back.
