Manchester City defender Joel Latibeaudiere appreciates the support of Joleon Lescott this season.

Latibeaudiere has been with FC Twente this term and was monitored by City's new loan chief Lescott.

He told the Manchester Evening News: “I spoke to Joleon even before I was out on loan because he obviously watches the games and everything. Having someone like Joleon Lescott there as a Premier League winner and England international having played in the position I play helps you so much.

“I'll go through clips with him, he's always on call, he came out to visit me four or five times in Holland and went through little things and he's been a massive help.

“It's literally like tiny little things in your game that you can learn from him which can make such a big difference. I'm lucky enough to have Joleon as a loan coach because not many people have the luxury of being able to call Joleon Lescott."
