West Ham to reignite pursuit of Man City's Lescott

West Ham United will reportedly make a summer move for Manchester City's Joleon Lescott.

The Hammers went after the English defender in January but any potential deal was quashed when City boss Manuel Pellegrini opted to keep him at the Etihad Stadium as the club chased a quartet of trophies.

The Mirror believes that Lescott will quit City at the end of the season and could find himself at Upton Park on a free transfer, earning around £90,000-a-week.

But West Ham will receive competition from Turkish side Besiktas who are believed to be putting together an offer which will trump that of the east Londoners.
