The former England international is not a regular at Villa Park.
Reports in Turkey are suggesting that Aston Villa defender Micah Richards remains a transfer target for Trabzonspor – who could make a move for the player in the winter.
Haber Turk is reporting that Trabzonspor boss Ersun Yanal has highlighted three players he would like to sign for the club in the winter. The lucky trio are Dortmund midfielder Nuri Sahin, PSV’s winger Luciano Narsingh and Aston Villa defender Richards.
Aston Villa’s Micah Richards
The report suggests the club wanted him in the summer but no deal ever came to fruition. Now they are determined to get hold of the Villa man.
Richards has struggled for first-team football with Villa this season after some poor performances with the team last term. His fortunes have not improved with the appointment of Steve Bruce and it seems that Villa consider him surplus to requirements.
Aston Villa’s Micah Richards looks dejected
Trabzonspor are currently struggling in the Turkish Super Lig – sitting in 13th position after ten games and need to improve their results into the next stage of the season. They see former England international Richards as a potential improvement on some of their current defensive options and will be looking to sign him in the winter.
With Aston Villa using him sparingly, it will not be a shock to see him sold on.
