A host of Premier clubs are reportedly preparing to try and sign Manchester City right back Micah Richards.

Richards is currently on loan at Italian side Fiorentina, but is thought to be keen on a return to England. The 26 year old will be available on a free transfer in the summer after he turned down an over of a new deal from Manchester City earlier this season.

Everton, West Ham and Liverpool are the three English clubs that are showing an interest in the full back, but German club Borussia Dortmund and Italian side Inter Milan who are managed by former City manager Roberto Mancini are also said to be keen.

Richards joined Fiorentina on loan at the start of the season in a bid to earn more first team football, but so far has only started three games so far this season in the Serie A.
