Newport County striker Will Evans is on the verge of a significant career move, with reports indicating that he is in advanced negotiations to join newly promoted League One club Mansfield Town. Sources from BBC Wales Sport suggest that a transfer fee is currently being discussed, and a deal appears to be nearing completion. Evans's potential transfer had been anticipated by Newport County, who exercised a one-year extension option on his contract at the end of the previous season. This strategic decision reflects the club's awareness of the growing interest in the talented forward, who tallied an impressive 21 goals last season in League Two, securing his position as the sixth highest scorer in the division despite Newport finishing in a disappointing 18th place. Interest in the 27-year-old striker has been evident since earlier in the year when former Newport manager Graham Coughlan confirmed that there had been multiple inquiries regarding Evans's availability. Newport chairman Huw Jenkins revealed that he had to reject offers from two other League One clubs keen on securing the services of the Wales C international. Now, with Mansfield Town making their return to the third tier of English football for the first time in 21 years, they are looking to bolster their squad, and Evans seems to be a prime target. The Stags earned their promotion by finishing third in League Two, trailing only behind Stockport County and Wrexham. Evans, originally from Llangedwyn, transitioned to Newport County from Bala Town in May 2022, bringing with him a hard-working mentality and a versatile playing style. While at Newport, he initially took on a left-sided wing-back role, but a shift to a more attacking position last season unveiled his goal-scoring capabilities. He not only excelled in the league but also made headlines with a remarkable performance in the FA Cup, where he scored in a 4-2 loss to Manchester United, bringing his total tally to 25 goals across all competitions. As Evans stands on the cusp of this potential new chapter with Mansfield Town, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how his goal-scoring prowess will translate to a higher level of competition in League One. With his recent form, Evans could prove to be a valuable asset for the Stags as they aim to make a significant impact in their return to the league.
