Owen set for Hull talks

by Robin Hackett , 23 June 2009

Hull boss Phil Brown has revealed the club will speak to Michael Owen in the next few days to convince him to move to the KC Stadium.

The 29-year-old Newcastle striker is set to leave St James’ Park this summer and has confirmed that he wants to play in The Premier League.

However, although reports suggest he would be reluctant to join The Tigers, Brown is convinced they can put forward a good case.

"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."
