Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill is considering a move for free agent Michael Owen according to reports.

The 32-year old striker is available on a free after being released by Manchester United at the end of last season and it is believed that the Black Cats are toying with a possible offer.

Owen has been linked with a few clubs this summer including Stoke City and even Everton but the latest interest comes from the Stadium of Light.

O'Neill is looking for some more experience in his attacking line and the former Liverpool, Newcastle United and Real Madrid man clearly represents that.
