Everton, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are poised to battle for the signature of Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott in the summer, according to a report.
The Mirror reports that the England international has been told that he can leave City at the end of the season.
A bid of around £4m will be enough to secure the services of the former Toffees defender, who has fallen out of contention at the Etihad Stadium.
The 31-year-old was also linked with Queens Park Rangers in the January transfer window, but City boss Roberto Mancini didn't sanction the move.
