Steven Gerrard has urged Liverpool to pull out all the stops to secure the services of Michael Owen.
Owen's future at Real Madrid is in doubt and he has been strongly linked with a return to Anfield.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez admitted last week that he would be keen on bringing the England international back to Merseyside, but added that his hands are tied financially until he sells Milan Baros.
Gerrard is aware of all the talk and feels the capture of Owen would hand The Reds a huge fillip.
"It goes without saying I would love Michael Owen back here and think everyone at the club would love him back," Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo.
"Obviously it's up to Real Madrid. He's their player and they'll decide if he can go, but when I see Michael in the England squad this week I won't even have to ask him where he'd like to be in a few weeks.
"I'm waking up every morning, looking in the papers and hoping to read he's on his way here."
Newcastle are also pursuing Owen and Gerrard admits it would be a disaster for The Reds if a Premiership rival secured the striker's signature.
"Could you imagine him coming back to Anfield and scoring against us for another club?" added Gerrard. "It would be a nightmare.
"Whoever signs him guarantees themselves 20 goals and, in my opinion, the best striker in the league." |
