Micah Richards has revealed his delight at seeing Joe Hart play in goal for Manchester City. Hart cut short his summer break to join the City squad in the US.

City defender Micah Richards told the club's website: "It was good to see my good mate Joe Hart back in the squad and making one really good save. At least he remembered his gloves and that was more than he did for his first training session. He was jet lagged! He is a really good mate of mine and hopefully one day soon we will play together for England."

The Daily Mail reports that Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is set to make a £7 million move for Micah Richards.

It has been suggested that Redknapp may be willing to offer Jermaine Jenas as part exchange.

Harry Redknapp hopes to complete an audacious double swoop for Man City pair Craig Bellamy and Micah Richards this summer. The Tottenham boss believes that if Champions League football is secured then the White Hart Lane outfit could persuade the Eastlands duo to make the move to London.

"We have beaten them twice already this season, so why not again?" he said. "Arsenal will want revenge and they are a different team at home.

"At the Emirates they probably play the best football in the Premier League but we can beat anyone on our day. As long as we are right, nothing else matters."

City also host Tottenham and sixth-placed Aston Villa before visiting West Ham on the final day of the season. Manager Roberto Mancini has said three wins would be enough for City to clinch fourth place and Richards insists they can still claim the final Champions League spot.

Micah Richards is optimistic that he can return from a knee injury for Manchester City's trip to Arsenal on Saturday. The defender has sat out City's last four games with the problem, but is expecting to be back in full training later this week.

But, though the England international is hopeful he will be fit, he accepts he may have a job on his hands to dislodge Nedum Onuoha from the right-back role for the game at Emirates Stadium. "I am going to train later this week as long as it is comfortable and hopefully be available for the Arsenal game," said Richards

Micah Richards is confident Manchester City can put an end to their wretched away record against Arsenal.

Saturday's visit to the Emirates Stadium appears the most daunting for City given they have not beaten Arsenal away since 1975, covering some 26 matches. But the Blues won the reverse fixture 4-2 in September before beating Arsenal 3-0 in the Carling Cup quarter-finals so Richards, who is back in contention after a knee injury, is in bullish mood.

MICAH Richards will be hoping tonight’s crunch Under-21 clash with Greece will not be the last time he pulls on an England shirt this season.

Richards is expected to lead Stuart Pearce’s men at Doncaster’s Keepmoat Stadium for the 2011 European Championship qualifying clash.

But Richards has set his sights on representing his country in South Africa at the World Cup.

Pearce said: “Micah knows a good performance won’t do him any harm at all, but the same goes for all the lads.
