Besiktas target out-of-favour Lescott but Man City defender wants to stay in England

Besiktas have confirmed they want to sign Joleon Lescott, 31, from Manchester City.

He is out of contract in the summer, although City boss Manuel Pellegrini has said no players will be leaving in this window.

Lescott, who joined City for £22m from Everton in 2009, has made 13 appearances this season and would prefer to stay in England.

Turkish delight? Joleon Lescott is wanted by Besiktas but would rather remain in the Premier League

That's why England has become a joke in terms of international football. All our players are cowards, can't leave their comfort zone in order to improve themselves. That's why we are lacking in technical ability, just one dimensional players we have. smh

City helped his career, he is now very known around Europe. If he stayed in Everton he would be another Jagielka.

Everton will take every one for free including Barry and others - and will sell their players for 85 million each !~ Does that guy think he is very intelligent and others are not?
