Hull City are lining up a move for Aston Villa defender Micah Richards according to a report.
The Mail Online report that the Premier League side have made an enquiry over acquiring the centre half.
Richards moved to Villa Park last summer from Manchester City on a free transfer, but he failed to be flavour of the month at the Villans as they were relegated from the Premier League.
He was often faced with the brunt of fan abuse as captain of a side that only picked up 17 points last season.
Under Roberto Di Matteo, Richards has found his game time limited so far and could make a move back to the Premier League with the Tigers.
Richards has previously been linked with a move to Sunderland but that is believed to have died after David Moyes took over as boss at the Stadium of Light.
The former England international made 24 appearances last season.
