Man City defender Richards happy with Fiorentina choice

Manchester City defender Micah Richards is delighted with his move to Fiorentina.

Just a fortnight into his loan spell, the defender is already in love with his new surroundings.

"Financially, [staying] would have been [the right thing to do]. It would have been the easy choice to stay in England," Richards has told The Guardian.

"I don't speak Italian and I don't really have any mates in Florence. I just thought it was the right thing to move here.

"It's a good League, a beautiful place, the lifestyle is unbelievable - just look at the views - and the people here are so friendly."
