Tottenham have had an ambitious attempt to take Joleon Lescott on loan from Manchester City rejected, according to talksport.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is looking to add to his defensive options due to the long-term fitness worries over captain Ledley King and Johnathan Woodgate is unlikely to make the final 25-man squad due to injury concerns.
Lescott was only named on the substitutes bench for City’s opener at White Hart Lane on Saturday as Roberto Mancini opted for Kolo Toure and Vincent Kompany in the centre of defence. But talksport report that Tottenhams attempt to take the England hopeful on loan for the season was rebuffed as City weren’t keen on him joining a top-four rival.
