One putting out European champion (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evictor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one putting' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'european champion' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'champion' becomes 'victor' (I've seen this before).
'e'+'victor'='EVICTOR'

'out' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for evictor that I've seen before include "One turning out" , "Nightclub bouncer?" , "One chucks out" , "He may put out" , "who puts an end to occupation?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
