Aston Villa near deal for West Brom defender Lescott

Joleon Lescott could be on his way to Aston Villa on Tuesday.


According to Sky Sports, the 33-year-old West Bromwich Albion defender is set to join the Baggies' West Midlands rivals for a fee of
£1million.

Former Manchester City centre-back Lescott, who arrived at The Hawthorns last summer, will undergo a medical at Bodymoor Heath before completing a move on deadline day.

Lescott has fallen down the pecking order under Tony Pulis following the recent arrivals of James Chester and Jonny Evans and will now look to tie down a regular spot at Villa under Tim Sherwood.
