Benitez Eyes Owen Swoop Liverpool are lining up a £2million swoop for former Kop idol Michael Owen in January, a move thatthe England international is likely to favour ahead of offers fromTottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, according to the News of theWorld.
With the future ofNewcastle United as yet undecided due to Mike Ashley's failure to finda buyer for the club, Owen is one of just a number of players tipped toleave St James' Park.
While current incumbent Joe Kinnear hasrepeatedly stated his desire to keep hold of the striker's services,Rafa Benitez is keeping tabs on Owen as he looks to bolster Liverpool'sPremier League title bid, and he is aware that a cut-price deal couldsuffice with the 28-year old entering the final six months of hiscontract.
Benitez would be required to sell first, with JermainePennant cited as one player who could leave Anfield, but rumourssuggest the Spaniard has now placed Owen ahead of original target EmileHeskey.
“I don’t know how much I can spend because we have not really talked about it," Benitez said. “It could be OK if I bring nobody in but I might be able to sell some players. It depends on the interest.”
Severalfirst-teams at Liverpool are also approaching the end of their currentdeal, including Dirk Kuyt, Daniel Agger and Fabio Aurelio, and Benitezadded that his main priority is to secure the future of such playersfirst.
“The first thing we want to talk about is my contract.
“Once we finalise this we can talk about the future. We have more than a couple of players that we have to decide about for the future.” |
