Micah Richards 'edges closer' to Aston Villa move with medical booked this week

Aston Villa could make their first signing of the summer this week as Micah Richards plans to undergo a medical, say reports.

Out-of-contract defender Micah Richards will have a medical at Aston Villa this week, according to reports.

The ex-England international is set to leave Manchester City on a free transfer in the hope of kick-starting his career, after a disappointing loan spell at Serie A side Fiorentina.

The Birmingham Mail claims that Richards's move to Villa could be announced following his medical this week, when he is expected to sign a four-year deal.

The 26-year-old played 20 times for Fiorentina last season.
