Phil Brown has confirmed the club's interest in signing Michael Owen.

"It's something that has been sounded out as a possibility, but, as yet, there has been no offer put to Michael.

"He has got a proven track record as a goalscorer and that's an area we are keen to strengthen, but it would have to be on the right terms." (Hull Daily Mail)

Carlos Tevez will join Manchester City on a five-year deal next week unless Chelsea match the £130,000-a-week salary on offer at Eastlands.

Tevez quit Manchester United on Saturday after two years at the club and the Argentinian is expected to sign for Mark Hughes’ ambitious side when he returns from a holiday in south America.

City and Chelsea have agreed to pay the £25.5m to secure the striker’s services, but Hughes has inched ahead after offering Tevez a guaranteed starting place in the team.

Tevez, 25, has made it clear that he wants to join a club with a history of battling against the odds and City, who have spent decades in the shadows of their great rivals United, fit the bill.

Tevez, 25, has made it clear that he wants to join a club that over-rate him and are willing to pay silly money for his mad running around.
