David Moyes would welcome Joleon Lescott loan

Everton manager David Moyes has revealed that he would be interested in taking Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott back on loan at the club.

Lescott, who left Goodison Park for the Etihad Stadium in 2009, has recently been linked with a move away from the Premier League champions due to a lack of first-team opportunities.

"If Joleon wanted to come back – if I thought we needed him – I'd be delighted to have him back," Moyes told reporters.

"If he was available then I think he'd be someone I would maybe show an interest in."

Moyes described the England international as having a "bad attitude" when he left the club three years ago.
