Brown set for Owen talks
Hull City manager Phil Brown has revealed he will approach Michael Owen over a possible move to the club this week.
The 29-year-old stated on Monday that he would be leaving Newcastle this summer as his contract comes to an end.
The striker admitted that he had already received numerous offers from Premier League clubs and even some from abroad but he insisted that the Tigers' approach was a 'new one' for him.
Brown is confident that he can offer the former Liverpool man an attractive offer, despite the fact that the frontman will have to take a considerable pay-cut if he is to join the Tigers.
"We will be speaking to Michael's representatives within the week," he told the Hull Daily Mail.
"I would think he would have a number of offers and we'll have to be competitive. But I wouldn't sit down with him if I thought I was wasting my time. Anything is possible in football.
"I don't think Michael will go for the best financial offer, I don't think it's about that for him at this stage of his career, he'll want the best offer for his future.
"He needs to spend a high percentage of next season's games at the highest possible level and that's where we can come in."
