Rumour Mill: Owen set to sign?

Last updated : 04 September 2012 By Kevin Smith

The former Liverpool man is a free agent after being released by Manchester United in the summer and with Liverpool short of strikers following the collapsed move for Clint Dempsey, it is likely that he may be making a return to Anfield.

Owen tweeted a photo of his shin pads and boots with the message "The tools of my trade are stacked and ready to go" then when asked by Joey Barton where he was off to, he replied "I will tell you on Wednesday" before quickly deleting the message.

Stoke City are the other club being hotly linked with the 32-year-old.
