Oxford United defender Ricardinho has reportedly emerged as a summer transfer target for three clubs in the Championship.

Ricardinho linked up with Oxford last summer and the left-back went on to make a total of 36 appearances in League One.

The 33-year-old picked up the club's Players' Player of the Year award but according to HITC, the Brazilian's form was also noticed by three teams at the second tier.

Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic and Rotherham United have all seemingly registered an interest in Ricardinho, who had previously been representing Gabala in Azerbaijan before signing for Oxford.

All three teams are looking to put together squads capable of avoiding a relegation battle during the upcoming campaign.
