Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool battle for Richards

Video Safari

Manchester City defender Micah Richards is attracting serious interest from Premiership rivals Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Earlier this summer, Tottenham were strongly linked with a £5million move for the player, but Manchester City insisted he was not for sale.
However, Liverpool are thought to be interested in signing Richards as a right-back to compete with Steve Finnan at Anfield, while Chelsea reportedly see the versatile Richards as a long-term centre-back partner for skipper John Terry.
City are unlikely to be willing to part with their star player, but reports suggest a bid in excess of £10million could persuade them to do business.
