Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen to sign Manchester United's out-of-favour defender Jonny Evans this summer.

The Northern Ireland defender, 27, recently returned from a six-game ban for spitting at Newcastle United striker Papiss Cisse in a match at St James' Park in March.

And the Manchester Evening News report Spurs head coach Mauricio Pochettino will seek to re-enforce his defence by signing the Ulsterman this summer.

Evans has not been a regular at Old Trafford this season, making just 12 Premier League starts under Louis van Gaal.

And the former Sunderland loanee has also attracted interest from Everton ahead of a potential move away from the Theatre of Dreams.
