Premier League: Manchester City ready to sell Micah Richards

Manchester City are willing to sell defender Micah Richards and they will probably accept a knockdown fee. The 26-year-old defender only managed two Premier League appearances last season and has one year remaining on his contract. Richards has been with Manchester City since the age of 14 and made his England debut in 2006 at the age of 18. He impressed the football world at the time and was linked with moves to various top clubs. But a number of injuries and also the solid performances from Pedro Zabaleta at right back pushed him out of the starting eleven. Manchester City have just snapped up Bacary Sagna from Arsenal on a free transfer, so the right back position is now covered and there seems to be no room left for Richards. Newcastle United, Liverpool and Arsenal have been linked with a move for Micah Richards lately. Here are the odds at SkyBet for a Richards transfer this summer: Arsenal - 6/4 Liverpool - 5/2 West Ham - 10/1 Newcastle - 12/1 Everton - 20/1
