The transfer market is getting more and more lively and this time, it's an English flanker who could well strengthen the Top 14.
According to information from RugbyPassHarlequins third row Will Evans would be in the sights of several French clubs, including Montpellier, Perpignan and Provence Rugby.
Montpellier on the offensive
The MHR has already made an offer to the 27-year-old flanker, a profile which could fill the Montpellier defense line. With his solid physique (1.84 m for 103 kg) and his experience, Evans is renowned for his activity and his ability to scrape balls off the ground, a valuable skill in the Top 14.
Former England U20 international, Evans finds himself free at the end of the season and could cross the Channel like several of his compatriots last summer. As a reminder, Zach Mercer is sent to Toulon at the end of the season.
But Montpellier is not alone in this. The Perpignan and Provence Rugby clubs, determined to attract new talent, have also made contact with the player. Perpignan, looking for reinforcements for its third line, could find in Evans an experienced player to solidify its squad.
Provence Rugby in dance
Provence Rugby, ambitious in Pro D2, also dreams of achieving a major profile. Attracting a player from the Quins would be a great operation for the Provençal club, which no longer hides its ambitions for advancement.
Now everything is in the hands of Will Evans. The prospect of joining the Top 14 could well weigh on his decision, as he would see it as an opportunity to relaunch himself on the European scene. It remains to be seen whether Montpellier will be able to prevail in this battle. Answer in the coming months!
