Joleon Lescott linked with Hammers move

England defender Joleon Lescott has again been linked with a move to West Ham. The Man City defender had been rumoured to have agreed a deal with the Hammers back in January.

With there clearly still some uncertainty over the long term future of the ageing centre back at The Etihad Stadium, Lescott has been open to a move elsewhere. Hammers manager Sam Allardyce is ready to offer a reported three year contract to bring the experienced defender to Upton Park.
