Tottenham have joined the battle for Manchester City defender Micah Richards.

The Mirror says Spurs have joined the clubs monitoring Richards.

Sunderland and Inter Milan are already interested in the 26-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season and is currently on loan to Italy's Fiorentina.

Richards would be seen as potential competition for Kyle Walker, despite the January arrival of USA international DeAndre Yedlin at the same position.

The club also have high hopes for 18-year-old Kyle Walker-Peters, who can play on either side and has impressed while coming through their academy.
