Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has refused to rule out a summer swoop for Newcastle and England striker Michael Owen. "I'm not saying that I will move for Owen in the summer - I've not looked at anything at that remote a distance," the Irishman told The Sun.

"But that's not to say Michael Owen is not a terrific player. Anything is possible. Kaka is a possibility!

"We want to try to compete at this level but what's happening in the future? I have no idea."

The England international will be a free agent at the end of the season.
