Arsenal Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Jonny Evans and Lucas Moura

Arsenal could reportedly land Jonny Evans for just £3 million if West Bromwich Albion are relegated this season, while the Gunners are also said to be interested in a move for Paris Saint-Germain's Lucas Moura.

West Brom are prepared to sell Evans for £23 million in January, but he has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for £3 million if the Baggies go down, according to Paul Hetherington at the Daily Star Sunday.

Evans would like to return to Manchester, with City interested, but remains a target for Arsenal as well as Leicester City.

Manager Arsene Wenger has been asked about any potential interest in Evans but gave little away, per Goal's Chris Wheatley:

However, the Gunners could lose out to Manchester City, although they are struggling to reach West Brom's asking price, per football writer Shane Burns:

"

City value Jonny Evans at £20million and are reluctant to West Brom's asking price of £25million. A deal somewhere in the middle of the two figures is likely to be reached.

Sorry, guys.

Arsenal have conceded 31 goals in the Premier League, interestingly the same amount as West Brom, who are just three points and one place off the bottom of the table.

The Gunners look weak defensively with youngsters Rob Holding and Calum Chambers having struggled and been guilty of mistakes at times. There also often appears to be a lack of leadership and organisation from the more experienced defenders, such as Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi.

A quality centre-back looks to be needed by Arsenal, although having turned 30 on January 3, Evans is clearly not a long-term solution.

Arsenal are also deciding whether to move for Lucas who is set to leave PSG this winter, according to ESPN FC's Peter O'Rourke.

The Brazil international has said "it looks like this is the end of my Paris story" and added he does like English football, per ESPN FC's Jonathan Johnson.

Arsenal could move for Lucas as an option on the right sign of their midfield, following the departures of Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

However, Arsenal may also face competition from Tottenham Hotspur for the 25-year-old, per Paul Gilmour at Sky Sports:

Lucas has not made a single start for PSG this season and looks to have no future at the club, although it's unclear where he will end up. The French side look keen to offload him, which may mean he could be available at a decent price.
