2. Joleon Lescott - Manchester City
This season, Lescott has fallen out of favour at Manchester City, with Roberto Mancini preferring Matija Nastasic and Vincent Kompany as his defensive partnership. This means Lescott could be willing to leave the Etihad in the summer and he would not be short of clubs after his signature, though it's likely he will have to take a paycut in order to do so (according to
The MailOnline.) He was a vital component in City's title winning season and it comes as a surprise that he has spent the majority of this season sitting on the bench; he has made his living being a combination of a typical old fashioned powerful defender and a more modern technical ball playing centre- half, something that Brendan Rodgers is trying to implement in his back four at Liverpool. Lescott will also likely be desperate to win his England place back and he can only do that by playing regular first team football, so a move to Anfield could be a match made in heaven for both parties.
