West Ham United manager David Moyes is a keen admirer of the Frenchman.
David Moyes was frantically trying to bolster his squad during the final day of the January transfer window, but ended up bringing in only two new faces – Joao Mario from Inter Milan on loan and Jordan Hugill from Preston North-End on a permanent deal.
West Ham currently sit in 12th spot in the Premier League table, but they are only three points clear of safety, and their top flight status is far from secure.
The Express claim that Moyes has already moved to address his lack of squad depth, and is on the verge of bringing the 81-capped France international to the London Stadium.
Is signing Evra a smart move, though?
The Frenchman has been a top-class performer throughout the years, that cannot be argued, but at the age of 36, he is well past his best.
His well-documented problems at Marseille also must be taken into account.
Do West Ham really need a highly volatile figure at the club, amidst their ongoing problems?
The simple answer to that is no, and Moyes should steer clear of Evra, in spite of his wealth of experience and undeniable quality.
