Leeds United could move for the experienced Premier League player.

Aston Villa's Kieran Richardson

According to a report from the print edition of the Sunday Mirror (04/09/2016), Leeds United are interested in signing free agent Kieran Richardson.

The Whites have had a busy summer but their deadline day was relatively disappointing, leaving manager Garry Monk with some work to do in terms of free transfers if he wants to fully appease the club’s supporters and ensure he has a squad capable of challenging for promotion this season.

Richardson has been without a club since leaving Aston Villa back in July but at 31 he still has plenty to offer the right club.

While at first glance a move for Richardson would seem a strange one for Leeds, given the number of wingers and central midfielders they already have on their books. However the former England international can also operate at left-back and would bring plenty of experience to the Whites.

Bristol City are also said to be interested and it is likely that Richardson would be looking for decent wages given his previous clubs, but the former Manchester United, Fulham, Sunderland and Villa player could do a job for Leeds if they can agree a deal.
