Roberto Di Matteo has confirmed that Joleon Lescott turned down a move to Rangers because he couldn’t agree personal terms.

The Italian said Lescott passed a medical after waving goodbye to his team-mates at Bodymoor Heath yesterday but decided against a move overnight.

"It’s quite public that we had a agreement with Rangers,"he said. "He didn’t agree personal terms."

Asked whether he would still be leaving, Di Matteo said: "It depends what solution he finds. It has to be something that suits the player."

There had been rumours the 34-year-old had failed a medical with the Glasgow club, but Villa owner Tony Xia took to Twitter to set the record straight.
