Chelsea are preparing a move for Manchester City's new England star Micah Richards. The Sun says the Premiership champions are getting ready to make a move for the Manchester City defender, who was outstanding against Holland on Wednesday.
Richards, 18, has recently signed a new four-year contract with the Eastlands club.
But Chelsea may offer former City star Shaun Wright-Phillips on loan as bait so they can have the first option on Richards next summer.

Man City's Richards stuck in £1M agents dispute tribalfooball.com - November 17, 2006
Manchester City's teenage star Micah Richards is in the middle of a £1 million agents' dispute.
The Daily Mail says Richards is being sued for breach of contract by his former agents Team Associates.
Managing director Andy Hobson was quoted as saying: "He's under contract with us and we're actively pursuing the action against the player."
But his new representatives SEM claims it has been the player's representative "for some time".
Team Associates claims Richards, who became the fourth youngest player to represent England when he played in the friendly with Holland on Wednesday, is still under contract for another year.
According to the report, Richards decided to change his agents shortly after his birthday in June.
SEM negotiated the player's new �15,000-a-week contract during the summer.
Team Associates has employed sports lawyers Cramer Richards to fight its case.

I don't believe this will happen.
It is just that Chelsea, being the club with most money to spend, will be linked to every Tom, Dick and Micah who just happen to be the talk of the town.
Guarantee you that if Namor Hcivonmarba from the Club Aissur FC scores a hattrick against ManU in a friendly match, he will be linked to Chelsea.
