Hull target Owen

June 21, 2009

Former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker Michael Owen is a transfer target for Hull City.

Hull City chairman Paul Duffen has confirmed his club’s interest in signing the Newcastle United striker ‘on the right terms’.

The 29 year old’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.

The Tigers are the latest club to have joined the race to sign the English International after Everton had also been linked to sign his services.

If reports are to be believed, then Hull are willing to offer Owen a one-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months and the terms will be heavily incetivised.

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.

“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.”
