Micah Richards is a target for Turkish side Trabzonspor.

The 28-year-old Aston Villa defender joined the Midlands club on a free transfer from Manchester City last year.

Richards has been surplus to requirements for some time, however, having made just three appearances this season.

They came in the EFL Cup defeat at Luton and against Ipswich and Wolves.

In the Wolves game, on October 15, he picked up a knee injury from which he is yet to recover.

Villa had been prepared to listen to offers for Richards during the summer but were unable to attract any takers.

But Trabzonspor boss Ersun Yanal is interested in taking him and is likely to make his move during the January transfer window.
