LES IS MORE,.. City want
Lescott
MANCHESTER CITY target Joleon Lescott stayed at the same
Dubai hotel complex as Mark Hughes and John Terry last
month.
SunSport told you yesterday how City boss Sparky and
Chelsea's JT holidayed separately at the Jumeirah Beach resort just
days before City's £30million bid.
We can reveal Lescott also chose to relax at that
spot.
The Everton defender was already there when Hughes and
his family arrived and they were surprised to see him lounging by
the pool.
City have been pursuing Lescott, 26, for most of the
summer and are willing to pay around £15m.
But the Toffees - who will have to pay at least 10 per
cent to his old club Wolves - are holding out for £20m.
City's chase has gone cold as they have turned their
attention to England skipper Terry.
A deal for Lescott could yet be revived if the player
indicates he wants to leave but, at the moment, the two clubs are
at stalemate.
Arsenal's Kolo Toure also remains a target.
