    Richards to Arsenal?

    in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum

    Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill will launch a deadline-day £7million swoop for Manchester City defender Micah Richards.

     

    O’Neill is a big admirer of Richards, who can operate at right-back or in the centre of defence.

     

    But the Villa boss had originally planned not to move for the England international, 20, until the summer.

     

    However, last week’s news that skipper Martin Laursen is likely to be out for at least two months with a knee injury has left his title challengers short of cover at the back. O’Neill confirmed yesterday he will attempt to bring in a quality defender during the final 24 hours of the current transfer window.

     

    He said: “We are still trying to bring in one before the window closes. We have a lot of games coming up.”

     

    And with time running out he is expected to table a ‘take it or leave it’ offer for Richards first thing tomorrow.

     

    Richards is known to fancy a fresh challenge having lost his England place.

     

    That makes a switch to Villa all the more attractive given O’Neill’s record of helping youngsters, Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ashley Young, into Fabio Capello’s squad.
