Evans switches his sights
ROTHERHAM United manager Steve Evans will try to nail a transfer deadline day signing after hopes of a record-breaking deal fell flat.
It is understood the Millers had been prepared to pay a club record £300,000 plus for their number one target. They had a bid accepted, dependent upon the selling club making a signing of their own, but last night it appeared the deal was unlikely to happen.
It leaves Evans hunting a fresh signing, possibly permanent, before tonight's 11pm deadline.
