Hughes Not Giving Up On Lescott
Manchester City manager Mark Hughes is refusing give up the chase for Everton defender Joleon Lescott despite his transfer request being turned down by the Merseyside club.
City have spent the summer chasing the 26 year old who have already had two bids for the player rejected by the Toffees with David Moyes still insisting that none of his top players will be leaving the club this summer.
Even with this knowledge Mark Hughes is still hopeful a deal can be done. Speaking at his latest press conference on Thursday he said “We’re looking to strengthen the defensive options that we have.
“We are still trying to speak to the people who will ultimately make the decision over whether the deal continues.
“Those conversations are still to take place but how long they will still be active is open to debate,”
It appears the key to this deal lies with David Moyes, does he keep hold of player who clearly wants to move on? or does he take the money and run?
