O'Neill denies Richardson contact

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill has insisted he has had no contact from Arsenal over versatile midfielder Kieran Richardson.

Reports this week have suggested the former Manchester United man could be a January target for the Gunners, but the Black Cats are yet to receive any approach.

O'Neill said: "Arsenal have not been in touch with me, I don't know anything about it."
