In an interview with The People, Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez said that he had considered signing Michael Owen this summer but came to the conclusion that the 29yrs old striker would not always be part of the regular first team.

“We had contact with different people and were analysing the situation,” Benitez told The People. “But if you want to play Torres and Gerrard there is not always a lot of space for other players.

“When I brought back Robbie Fowler it was a different situation. We were looking for someone who could understand his role clearly and he was a good finisher.
