The Mirror are indicating that Manchester City striker Ched Evans is about to put pen to paper at S2...

With the strikeforce considerably weak, and with Billy Sharp virtually the only striker available for selection for the curtain raiser against Middlesbrough, Kevin Blackwell is about to bolster is options with the signing of the talented Welshman, for £1.5m it is being reported.

Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor is expected to move to Eastlands which means Mark Hughes' men have an infinite amount of front-men, which is making United's move for Ched more likely.

The Mirror are reporting that the 20-year-old will cash in £20,000 a week on a four-year-deal.
