Premier League clubs interested in underused Fiorentina defender
The 26-year-old, who’s currently on loan at the Viola from Manchester City until the end of June, will be out of a contract with the Citizens this summer and has expressed his desire to find a new club where he has space to play more, with both the Hammers and the Baggies apparently ready to fight for his signature.
According to Express & Star, West Brom coach Tony Pulis wants to add the England international to his line up in hopes of strengthening his defence ahead of the 2015-16 season, though he may face some competition from West Ham, who will be looking to rebuild their team after they find a new tactician to replace Sam Allardyce.
Reports also suggest that Richards could be a target of Inter due to his past with Nerazzurri boss Roberto Mancini at Manchester City.
The defender has managed to make just 10 Serie A appearances for Fiorentina this term thus far.
