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.

“But we have a World Cup coming up and all the top players want to play. In his position it would be hard for Owen to play every week at Liverpool.

“We are confident in Dirk Kuyt, Ryan Babel, David Ngog and Andriy Voronin for next season. We have players with quality” added the Liverpool boss.
