Fenerbahçe right winger Colin Kazım-Richards is once again subject to transfer rumours which link him with a move back to the UK. This time, the Premiership side interested in transferring Kazım-Richards is Portsmouth FC who are reportedly preparing an offer worth 3 Million Pounds for the 22-year old Turkish international attacking midfielder.

On Saturday, Turkey's Vatan newspaper rumoured that English side Portsmouth FC were monitoring Fenerbahçe's right winger Colin Kazım-Richards. A report written by Feridun Niğdelioğlu suggested that the Pompey club had set aside 3 Million Pounds for the transfer; a substantial offer indeed for Fener who had transfered the East Londoner for 1.8 Million Pounds two seasons ago.

Currently there is big unrest between the 22-year old attacking midfielder and Fenerbahçe manager Luis Aragones. The talented youngster has had 'disciplinary' issues with the Spanish coach, as the Turkish press has constantly reported.

Also, ever since the arrival of right winger Gökhan Emreciksin, Kazım-Richards has become the unwanted man in the squad. Once a constant first-team member for Fenerbahçe, battling it out on the pitch with players from top clubs like Sevilla and Chelsea in the Champions League last season, Colin Kazım-Richards has now become sidelined. Lastly he wasn't even picked by Aragones for the 18-man match roster against Bursaspor on Friday.

The 22-year old has also had financial problems with the club, as the press recently reported. He was rumoured to have complained that he wasn't properly receiving his payments. Fenerbahçe denied these reports and had attacked rivals Beşiktaş who were reportedly in contact with the player.

Colin Kazım-Richards, or Kazım Kazım as we call him in Turkey, still has two more years at Fenerbahçe; his contract ends in May 2011. If the Portsmouth rumours are true, then the Yellow Canaries may have a profitable offer in their hands at the end of the season.
