The Premier League star that has decided to learn Spanish

Evans' decision has only increased rumours that he could join Guardiola's revolution at City, but the idea does also mean that the defender is open to new opportunities.

The Manchester Club had an £18m bid for Evans firmly rejected in the summer before Leicester and Arsenal came in with late offers to test West Brom's resolve.

With City paying more than £50m for Kyle Walker and Benjamin Mendy, Evans was asked if the mediocre offer made him feel undervalued, but he swiftly brushed that aside by saying: ‘No, not at all.’

He added: ‘Every year the transfer window comes about and everyone starts kicking off about transfer fees.

‘It’s just the way the market constantly surprises us. Sometimes you look at a player and think he’s worth about £15m, then a week later you think “actually he’s maybe worth about £25m”.  

‘You don’t know, do you? How do you put a price on it? I never ever look at figures and think I’m worth this or worth that. I just let things take their course.’
