The West Bromwich Albion youngster is said to have interest from Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
West Bromwich Albion supporters are reacting to reports linking Rico Richards with Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
The Sun reported recently that all four clubs, Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham, are watching Richards, whose West Brom contract expires next summer.
The Baggies have already lost one of their best prospects, Morgan Rogers, to City – who are reported to have paid around £4 million for the 16-year-old earlier this year – while another one, Louie Barry, left for Barcelona around the same time.
And according to The Express & Star, West Brom are taking steps to avoid a repeat with Richards – offering the England Under-17 international a new contract to stay at The Hawthorns.
Were Richards to reject that deal, however, he would be free to join a club of his choosing at the end of the campaign – although potential recruiters like Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham, would still have to pay training compensation.
And the following West Brom fans are hoping it won’t come to that.
