Arsenal target Everton's Lescott


Everton's England defender Joleon Lescott is reportedly a priority target for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger this summer.

Wenger will be seeking to bolster his young squad especially in defence where they are short of experienced centre-backs like Lescott.

The 26-year-old defender has been a revelation since making the move to Merseyside from Wolverhampton Wanderers back in 2006.

News of the World reported that Wenger wants Lescott in at the Emirates stadium due to the uncertainty of Kolo Toure's future as a Gunner.

Toure has been rumoured to be a target for Manchester City while defensive partner William Gallas' future is also in doubt after turning on his teammates earlier in the season.

Lescott could be tempted into a move with Champions League football a likelihood for Arsenal next season.
