Aston Villa are closing in on the signing of Fulham winger Kieran Richardson.

The former Manchester United man is due to undergo a medical with the Premier League club shortly after the Cottagers accepted an undisclosed fee for his services.

Richardson, who can play at left-back or further forward, is expected to sign a three-year deal with Villa.

The 29-year-old featured 48 times for Fulham since his switch to Craven Cottage from Sunderland in 2012, scoring six goals.
