Villa And Norwich Join RIchards Hunt

Jazz Richards appears to be a man in demand this summer as Aston Villa and Norwich City both join the chase to secure his services for the new season.

Richards admitted himself at the end of last season that he was likely to have to leave Swansea this summer as he chased first team football - something that will be vitally important to him next campaign given the likelihood of Wales being in the European Championship finals in France.

And having already been linked with a move to the Championship with Fulham he is now being chased by some Premier League clubs who already are rumoured to include Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion.

Richards was an instrumental part of the Wales team who gained a famous 1-0 win over Belgium two weeks back and that has certainly increased the interest in him especially considering the way he effectively kept Eden Hazard out of the game on that particular occasion.

Villa have already allowed Matt Lowton to join Burnley and it is reported that Alan Hutton will be allowed to leave if Tim Sherwood can grab himself a right back and Jazz certainly fits the bill of the kind of player that he is looking for.
