Everton manager David Moyes was full of praise for defender Joleon Lescott following the 2-1 pre-season friendly win over Malaga at Goodison Park.

The 27-year-old England international has been the subject of two major bids from Manchester City in recent weeks, with the Toffees not wanting to allow one of their star players to leave the club.

Moyes said: "Joleon played really well, he was terrific.

"And you only needed to hear the crowd's reaction to him, they know that what we are doing is correct. There was a lot of cheering for him, and rightly so.

"But we are consistent here, we told everyone just after last season that we wouldn't be selling any players and they are still here."
