Lescott is currently preparing for England's Euro 2012 qualifier with Bulgaria in Sofia on Friday but the pre-match focus was inevitably on City - and Dzeko - after their flying start. Roberto Mancini's side have won their opening three league games and Dzeko has weighed in with six goals after a disappointing introduction following his £27million January move from Wolfsburg. Lescott, who helped City demolish Tottenham 5-1 on Sunday, said: "To win the league, that has to be the aim. We feel we can win every game that we play. "That's not going to happen but we feel, if we can win the majority of games, then we'll do well come the end of the season. "It's only the early part of the season. We know we've still got a long way to go. There will be games we don't play as well, and we will lose games, but we've got a fantastic squad." Dzeko initially struggled to make an impact at City after joining in January but this season already he has justified Mancini's faith in him. Lescott said: "What Edin is doing now is probably no surprise to Roberto, as it isn't to us. "Edin wasn't playing as much as he would have liked last season and the focus was on Carlos Tevez, and rightly so. "But he's come back this pre-season and he just believes in his ability now. He can be one of the best strikers and top scorers in England this season." Lescott would welcome the arrival of midfielder Owen Hargreaves, who is understood to have undergone a medical with City. He is backing the former Manchester United player to regain his England spot if he proves his fitness and form. Lescott said: "I'm not surprised if we're signing Owen because he's a great player. "I'm surprised that we're signing anyone because we've got such a lot of talent in the squad - but to add to it is healthy. "Owen can also definitely come back for England. I don't think anyone is ruling him out of any competition. "The manager has seen something, we all know he's got the quality to play Champions League football as well. That can only bode well for the club."
