Everton Turn Down Lescott Transfer Request
Everton FC have turned down a written transfer request from Joleon Lescott, which could officially end Manchester City’s interest in the player.
City have been chasing the signature of Lescott all summer and had two bids rejected by Everton. David Moyes the Everton manager has stated all summer none of his star players will be leaving this summer and he appears determined to stick to his word.
City could now turn their attention to other targets with Matthew Upson a strong possibility as it is believed the 30 year old who is on England duty would welcome a move north. West Ham are unlikely to prove as big an obstacle if Mark Hughes decided to bid for the former Arsenal man.
