The Baggies hope to tie up the loose ends now key United officials have returned from the club's Champions League assignment in Bruges.

A fresh move was made for Evans after Tottenham centre-back Fazio failed to agree a contract to move to The Hawthorns following a day of talks last week.

The 28-year-old Argentina international passed a medical at Albion's training ground, after the club agreed a fee of around £5million with Spurs.

But Fazio could not agree terms over his contract and the Baggies turned to an alternative target.
