Richardson threw his shirt into the travelling supporters after the final whistle at Arsenal, and O'Neill admitted the former Manchester United man had been keen on a move back to his native London.

Queens Park Rangers and West Ham are both said to be keen on the 27-year-old England international.

"Kieran came to see me a while ago in the last transfer window. For family issues and things, he thought there maybe needed a change," said O'Neill.

"No-one has come in and made an offer. That, though, does not mean there is nothing happening, I just don't know.

"But if he performs like he did against Arsenal, I would like to keep him."
