Port Vale have confirmed they have made an approach to sign former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler.
The League One outfit have joined a host of clubs chasing Fowler, who has also played for Leeds United and Manchester City.
Leicester, Cardiff and Sydney FC are reportedly interested in Fowler, 32, who became a free agent at the end of last season after his contract with Liverpool expired.
However, Port Vale chairman Bill Bratt hopes the lure of regular first-team football could attract the former England forward.
"We've approached Robbie Fowler's agent to see whether he would be interested in playing for Port Vale," said Bratt.
"We can offer him regular football and at his age that may be what he is looking for.
"We obviously can't afford to pay him what other clubs can but he's a very wealthy man anyway and we hope he may want to play for the pleasure of it.
"You don't go from being a brilliant player to a bad player overnight and we think he would be a superb addition for us.
"It's a chance for us as far as I'm concerned. We've asked the question and if the answer's no, it's no."
Fowler's agent George Scott told the Sentinel: "I've had many a good night in Stoke-on-Trent, so you never know.
"Robbie is ruling nothing out, especially if it is an ambitious club and he can see himself going there and taking them up to a new level."
Fowler has scored 162 Premier League goals and has also netted seven international goals in 26 England appearances.
