Tigers declare Owen interest
Hull City chairman Paul Duffen has confirmed the club's interest in signing Newcastle United striker Michael Owen 'on the right terms'.
Owen's contract at St James' Park expires at the end of the month and his representatives have sent out a brochure to several Premier League clubs outlining his credentials.
Everton have been linked with a swoop for the former Liverpool star, but now ambitious Hull have thrown their hat into the ring.
Reports claim the Tigers are willing to offer Owen a one-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months and the terms will be heavily incentivised.
Duffen revealed Hull, who finished 17th in their debut season in the Premier League, are interested in taking the 29-year-old to the KC Stadium.
And Duffen is optimistic that he can persuade the England international to join the Tigers providing the 'right deal' can be agreed.
"We're interested in Michael Owen on the right terms," Duffen
told the News of the World.
"He's a fantastic footballer. He's had a few injury problems, but we would have to be interested in him.
"If the right deal can be done then we would definitely be keen to sign him. We are an ambitious football club and we want to show that.
"It would be an enormous move for us, but the deal can be done if it is on the right terms."
