DONE DEAL: Forest transfer Richards to Rio Ave

Having transferred from Bayern Munich for a fee of €8.5m a year ago, Chris Richards embarked on a successful loan spell with Olympiakos in Greece for the previous season.

And now the defender is being sent to Rio Ave for the new season.

The 26 year-old's move was confirmed on Tuesday, with him taking part in his first Rio Ave training session in the morning.

Richards was originally spotted and signed by Bayern when playing for Reading in the Championship.
