A £400,000 transfer fee has reportedly been agreed between Mansfield Town and Plymouth Argyle for Will Evans.

Plymouth Live has reported that the Pilgrims have reached an agreement for Stags striker Evans, who has been at the club since 2024.

The transfer fee is said to be worth £400,000 plus add-ons and the 29-year-old striker is set to undergo a medical on Friday.

Argyle have been actively searching for a new forward following the £4 million sale of Lorent Tolaj to Championship side Bristol City last month. Evans is said to have been a firm, long-standing target for Tom Cleverley’s side, who have already seen two bids rejected for the Welshman’s services.

Cleverley revealed during a press conference last week that Pilgrims had two offers knocked back for an unnamed striker. Plymouth Live says it is Evans who the manager was alluding to at the time.

The news of Evans’ potential pending departure comes following Mansfield Town’s own signings of new attackers. Senior strikers David McGoldrick and Michael Smith have joined the ranks to bolster Stags’ options across the front line.

Clough confirmed a player could be leaving the club this week during his pre-match press conference ahead of Sheffield United this Sunday. If the move goes ahead, Stags are working on bringing in a replacement.

“We’ve made enquiries. There’s a possibility we will be losing one from the squad as well so we’re just trying to line up a replacement there,” Clough said.

Evans scored eight goals in League One last season and two in the FA Cup. He was a crucial part of Stags’ impressive run in the FA Cup, which saw them reach the fifth round and take on Premier League giants Arsenal. Evans scored against Mikel Arteta’s side at the One Call Stadium, netting the equaliser in what ended in a 2-1 defeat for Stags after a valiant effort.
