Liverpool are closing in on the second to sign summer at Manchester United defender Gemma Evans, according to reports.
It’s been a quiet summer on Merseyside with one addition to note so far. The Reds began their transfer business by signing Sporting CP midfielder Olivia Smith at the start of July.
Now, by saying BBC reporter Emma Sanders, United’s Evans is set to move to Liverpool on a permanent deal. The report says that the talks have been good and all parties are hopeful that the move will be completed.
Evans, a Wales international, has represented the likes of Cardiff City and Yeovil Town throughout his career. The 28-year-old then had spells at Bristol City and Reading before moving to Manchester last summer.
Last season, Evans made 19 appearances in all competitions under Marc Skinner and registered one assist in that time. However, only 12 of these matches came from the Women’s Super League.
United have been active in the transfer market this summer and acquired Dominique Janssen on a free transfer from Wolfsburg. They also signed Swedish defender Anna Sandberg, opening the door for Evans to leave.
Liverpool begin their 2024/25 WSL campaign on September 22 against Leicester City. On the other hand, United start their season against West Ham on September 21.
