Kieran Richardson's father who also acts as the players agent has spoken about talks currently being held with the living legend that is Niall Quinn.
Richardson is currently in the last year of his Sunderland contract, with Sunderland boss Steve Bruce hoping he will make a decision on his future being such a utility player.
The Sunderland boss has already had talks with Richardson in an attempt to develop him back into a left back in which he began his career as, instead of his self chosen position in the centre of the park.
