Manchester City close on £24million Lescott
Manchester City Football Club look like finally winning the signature of Joleon Lescott.
The Blues have failed with two offers for the England international defender this summer, but Mark Hughes has made no secret of his desire to strike a deal with Everton.
“My understanding before the game was that the clubs are speaking," he said on Saturday. "I would suggest that is a positive sign, although whether or not anything is concluded only time will tell."
It is now believed that the Toffees, who have dropped Lescott due to his desire to make the move, are now set to accept the latest offer for the player, believed to be £24million.
