Ex-Man City and Everton star Joleon Lescott having MEDICAL ahead of West Brom move
JOLEON LESCOTT is inching closer to a move to West Brom with the former Manchester City and Everton star having a medical.
Reports emerged yesterday that the Tigers were in the hunt for a proven central defender.
However, they were dealt a blow when the Baggies snuck in under the radar to steal a march on their fellow Premier League outfit.
Lescott is currently a free agent as he is out of contract at City but reports suggest he is currently undergoing a medical and is expected to seal a deal soon.
City are in need of a new centre back to partner Vincent Kompany in the heart of defence.
Meanwhile, West Brom appointed Alan Irvine as their new head coach yesterday.
