Newcastle United are regarded as favourites for Manchester City defender Micah Richards.
The Daily Star Sunday says Richards, who has only a year left on his contract, is likely to move on this summer.
Richards wants to leave for regular first-team action and Newcastle are now leading the chase for the versatile defender who is valued by City at £7million.
Arsenal also have a long-standing interest and fear they could lose their out-of-contract right-back Bacary Sagna to City.
