Kenwright: Lescott is going nowhere

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has warned moneybags Manchester City that England defender Joleon Lescott is not for sale.

Lescott has been strongly linked with a move away from Goodison Park, with cash-rich City thought to be lining up a bid for the England international as Mark Hughes looks to bolster his defensive options.

Kenwright insists no one at Everton is for sale and that Toffees boss David Moyes will make the final decision on any transfers.

"You heard what he (Moyes) said and he said it right at the start of the summer - 'none of my players are going' and I think all of this speculation doesn't do anyone any favours," Kenwright told Sky Sports News.

"David Moyes, and only David Moyes I promise you, will make the decisions on the playing staff at this football club.

"He said, and he means it, nobody is for sale."
