  Everton defender Lescott moving to Man City for £25M

  Manchester City should rubberstamp the signing of Everton defender Joleon Lescott in the next 24 hours.

  The Sunday Times says the only comment from Everton manager David Moyes yesterday was: “Something might happen very shortly. You might get some news soon, possibly today.”

  Everton had rejected offers of £15m and £18m but a deal worth about £25m, including add-ons, is understood to have been finalised yesterday, although City are unlikely to have heard the end of the matter.

  Over at Eastlands, before City’s 1-0 win over Wolves, City boss Hughes said: “The clubs are speaking, which I’d suggest is a positive sign. Whether or not anything is concluded in the next day or so only time will tell.”

  Asked if Lescott would be City’s last defensive recruit, Hughes said: “Not necessarily.”

  Moyes admits Lescott defeat

  Moyes said: "I would have preferred to keep the player. He's a good player and he can play two positions.

  "I've been disappointed but I've had my say on how it's been and any more would be repeating what I've said.

  "You could see the effect that it had last week. It's played a big part behind the scenes.

  "Joleon had told me on the Friday (before the 6-1 home defeat by Arsenal) that he didn't want to play but I had no options so I chose to play him but it worked against me. So, I've taken the decision.

  "It's been difficult because Joleon's attitude has been so poor. We'd rather have him playing but if a player is going to behave in the manner he did, we had not choice but to keep him away."

  about time..

  Moyes should have tried to unload him when the Klingon started to get a bad attitude...

  i guess it was then down to seeing how much money they can squeeze out of clubs like Citeh with too much money

  Well, this would certainly help to strengthen Man City's leaky defence....

  But that said, it still doesn't solve their conundrum of having too many strikers...

  Wolves set for bumper windfall from Lescott's Man City move

  Wolves are due a massive windfall from Everton defender Joleon Lescott's move to Manchester City.

  The Telegraph says Wolves are due to receive almost £3.5m as part of the deal after securing a 15 per cent sell-on clause when selling the player to Everton for £5m in August 2006.

  Lescott goes to City for an initial £22 million rising to £24 million.
