Everton defender Joleon Lescott has played down rumours he could be about to join Manchester City.
The 26-year-old England international has been strongly linked with a big-money move to Eastlands in recent weeks after another impressive season.
However, Lescott remains under contract until 2012 and he says he has not heard anything to suggest he will be moving on.
“We do not see much of the media side when we are away with England, but you cannot stop the papers speculating," he said.
"It is not a question I want to be answering, and no-one has said anything to me other than I am an Everton player.
"I am going on holiday now with my family to wind down for the next couple of weeks and then I will come back fully focused on getting fit for pre-season."
