Arsenal and Liverpool are both keeping tabs on Manchester City star Micah Richards after it was reported that the players contract talks with the club stalled. He was apparently offered a club record £60,000 a week at the Manchester club but it has been rumoured that he has rejected the deal. Richards has been instrumental in City's terrific start to the season and it comes as no surprise that both clubs are interested in him.It was reported a while ago that Richards said he would love to join Arsenal one day as he always admired them as a kid. Liverpool would be very keen on signing the player and he has been touted as a long term replacement to Sami Hyypia at Anfield. Arsenal boss Wenger has supposedly said in the past that he was a keen admirer of the player and that leads me to believe that he will join Arsenal if he leaves Eastlands.
I hope for City's sake and the players sake that he doesn't leave the club because Micah only has to look at Shaun Wright Phillips who left City for Chelsea and has since then failed to secure a first team place. In my opinion the player is worth as much as £20 million because he has performed consistently at City and has been one of England's top performers over the past few months.
