Owen link with cut price return
|
Liverpool are being linked with Newcastle United striker Michael Owen.
The News of the World says Owen is still fighting to overcome a knee injury that required two ops and is unlikely to play a competitive game this term.
With the Geordies stuck in a survival battle near the foot of the Premiership, the prospect of them losing their £16m striker, 26, is looming.
That could open the way for the England star to make an emotional return to his old club Liverpool.
If relegated, Newcastle would be unable to keep Owen because of the player's £120,000-a-week wages.
They might be forced to accept a knockdown price of around £6m - which will alert the Kop and other clubs.
