Manchester City boss
Mark Hughes has backed summer
signing Joleon Lescott to become a great player at the club despite
an indifferent start.
Hughes paid Everton
£22million for Lescott and it remains to be seen if the 27-year old
can prove his worth at Eastlands but the boss is confident it will
happen.
"Joleon is still a young player," said Hughes. "What I was
talking about when he signed for us was the potential he had to
grow as a player.
"The stage he's on now and the expectation level will enable him
to fulfil the expectations he has for himself.
"I've no doubt Joleon will be an outstanding player for many
many years and people will see that very quickly.
"What he's got is real determination to grow and develop, and if
you have a player like that it's very easy to work with.”
