The former Manchester United centre-back has been a key player for West Brom since he joined the club in 2015 and featured in 12 league games this campaign. West Brom rejected multiple bids for Evans, whose contract expires in 2019, in the previous transfer window, including one from league leaders Manchester City, and Pardew fears that further offers could pave the way for his departure. "I'm never confident when you've got great players because other clubs want great players, so your best players are always vulnerable," Pardew told reporters on Thursday. West Brom can widen that gap when they travel to bottom-side Swansea City on Saturday and Pardew has urged his team to grab a much-needed victory, saying that a minimum of nine more wins was needed to avoid relegation. We've lost the least in the bottom eight or nine but we've drawn too many games," Pardew added.
