Manchester City centre-back Joleon Lescott is reportedly looking set to leave the Premier League title winner's after five years at the club.
The defender, who won a second championship with City following Sunday's 2-0 win agains, West Ham United although he has found his playing time limited this season, took to Twitter to post that it is a very emotional time for him after the game.
According to the BBC, Lescott, whose contract expires in the summer, tweeted that he thanks everyone connected to the club, adding that it has been a fantastic period of his career and life.
