Owen heading for Glory? Perth in talks to bring Stoke striker to Australia

Perth Glory are in talks with the management of high-profile striker Michael Owen about bringing the former England player to Australia.

Owen, 33, made a name for himself at some of the world’s biggest clubs, spending nearly a decade at Liverpool before having stints at Real Madrid and Manchester United.

He is currently on the books at Stoke City, but has made just four appearances as a substitute for the English Premier League club this season.

Perth target: Owen currently plays for Stoke

Lethal: Owen made his name as a clinical finisher at Liverpool before failing to agree a new contract and moving to Real Madrid

Glory have one spare position in the squad for an international player after releasing Irish striker Billy Mehmet this week and do not currently have an international marquee player.

If Owen was recruited as a marquee player, his wages would not be included in the salary cap.

A Glory spokesman confirmed the club was interested in securing Owen’s services, but said negotiations were in their infancy.

Forwards: Owen's former Liverpool teammate Emile Heskey and Italian Alessandro Del Piero are two big-name players who have moved to Australia

'Michael Owen’s agent has enquired about Michael playing in the A-League,' the spokesman said.

'Perth Glory are interested but are yet to find out Michael’s terms and conditions.

'Until these are known, Perth Glory will not enter any further negotiations.'

Mehmet, frustrated by a lack of opportunity in Perth, will link up with Thai Premier League club Bangkok Glass FC next week after Glory agreed to release him today.

The English-born Ireland international scored 10 goals in 42 appearances for Glory but often played second fiddle to marquee man Shane Smeltz.
