Everton have rejected an alleged £15 million from Man City for their England capped centre back Joleon Lescott it has been rumoured this afternoon. City have been heavily linked with Lescott for some considerable time now so a bid would hardly be a surprise given the speculation flying about, the only real surprise is that it’s taken this long to materialise.

Lescott has been a huge success on Merseyside since his move from Wolves a few years ago and if Everton decided to cash in the profit could be huge, maybe as much as £10 million, which is a good retune if they do decide to sell.

If I was Mr Moyes I would be digging my heals in as if they have any chance of maintain their performances of last season this is the sort of player they need to keep hold off.
