Newcastle United, West Ham in fight to sign Manchester City's Micah Richards?

Newcastle United and West Ham United are reportedly both in pursuit of Manchester City full-back Micah Richards.

Questions over the 25-year-old's future at the Etihad Stadium have been rumbling for some time.

Due to numerous injuries and failure to cement a regular spot in manager Manuel Pellegrini's team, there have been suggestions that Richards's City career could be coming to an end.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Richards could leave the club for as little as £4m as both Newcastle and West Ham keep track of the full-back's situation.

Richards's contract expires next summer.
