Lescott (pictured) has become one of Everton's most valuable players in just 18 months since joining from Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers for a sizeable £5 million.
The versatile defender earned a place in Steve McClaren's England and, despite not enjoying his best performances, few doubt the talents of the 25-year-old.
In what is a slightly tenuous link, the News of the World reports that title rivals Arsenal and Manchester United are monitoring the Everton stopper's situation, as recent contract extensions for the likes of Tony Hibbert and Leon Osman have reportedly pushed the ex-Wolves man down the payment pecking order, much to his dismay.
Arsenal in particular are said to be interested in Lescott, with it even rumoured that Arsene Wenger had attempted to swoop for the defender when he initially ended up signing for Everton.
