Moyes blasts City’s haggling as Lescott fee agreed

EVERTON manager David Moyes has criticised Manchester City for trying to haggle over the price of want-away centre-back Joleon Lescott.

The England international is expected to undergo a medical today after City finally came up with a bid which met the Merseysiders’ valuation of the player.

Having rejected two previous offers – the first about £18 million (€20.7m) – Everton are reported to have accepted £24m (€27.6m) from City for Lescott. City last night confirmed one of the summer’s most protracted transfer sagas is nearing an end.
