Everton boss David Moyes has revealed that discussions are well underway with Joleon Lescott regarding a new contract with the Toffees.
"I think there will be new contract talks soon, because he is a very valuable member of our squad," Moyes said. "The thing is, he is OK about playing at left-back, and that helps. "We have spoken about it and he understands, and after playing in Russia for England at left-back he realises being quite versatile can be a real benefit.
"He would rather be a centre-half. His best position is there, but I've got to say he is a more than competent left-back and I've said before I don't think many people get past him because he is so strong and such a good defender."
