Micah dreams of playing for Arsenal one day

Micah Richards has revealed he wants to play for his boyhhod idols Arsenal.

The England defender grew up worshipping Highbury legends Ian Wright and Patrick Vieira.

And despite interest from Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United since breaking into the national team, the Manchester City star has revealed his ambition is to sign for Arsene Wenger's team.

He told Nuts magazine: "I was a big Ian Wright fan when I was younger so I supported Arsenal. Wright and Patrick Vieira were my idols, so yeah, if the opportunity came to play for them one day I'd take it.

"But right now I'm concentrating on keeping City in the top half and we've got the players to do it."
