Fowler waits on move

Robbie Fowler's agent says the former Liverpool legend is in no rush to make a decision on his future.

Fowler is weighing up his options after being released by Liverpool at the end of last season.

Cardiff, Leicester and Sydney FC have all expressed an interest in signing the former Leeds and Manchester City hit-man.

Cardiff are believed be leading the chase for the prolific forward, but Fowler's representative George Scott says the player will not rush into making a decision on who to join

"To be honest, Robbie is enjoying the little bit of freedom he's got at the moment," Scott told the Western Mail.

"He is not in a mood to be rushed. He is considering eight offers at the moment, but the phone is always ringing and there is plenty of interest.

"We've been forced to say thanks, but no thanks to a few of them.

"I wouldn't want to put the offers in any kind of order yet. Robbie is his own man, he will make up his mind about what is right for him and especially what's right for his family.

"Robbie's got six weeks really and there is no saying he won't take that time before putting pen to paper and finally decide where he's going.

"As I say, offers are coming in all the time and there is the option there to wait until more clubs come in and decide then.

"Sydney is still in there, we felt we should go out there at least. They had come to Liverpool and we thought it polite to take up their offer to go there.

"Cardiff's bid is getting the same serious consideration as the others. We know the chairman, Peter Ridsdale, is an ambitious man. I know him and he's always impressed me as a person, a businessman and just a thorough football man at heart."

Meanwhile, Cardiff have handed trials to former Manchester United youngster Aaron Burns and ex-Nottingham Forest man Patrece Liburd.

The duo played in the friendly win at Chippenham on Tuesday as they look to win moves to Ninian Park.

Foxes follow Fowler

Leicester City chairman Milan Mandaric has confirmed Robbie Fowler as the club's top target.

Fowler has held talks with Sydney FC about a possible move to Australia, and Cardiff City are also reportedly interested in the Liverpool legend, but Mandaric admits a desire to bring the 32-year-old to The Walkers Stadium.

The Foxes, who have already brought in Carl Cort and are reportedly close to a £2million agreement for Birmingham forward DJ Campbell, are hoping to continue to bolster their attack as they look to fire their way back to the Premier League.

"We are still looking for more firepower up front and Fowler could give us that," Mandaric told the Leicester Mercury.

"I have been talking with his representatives and we know there is competition for him but it is not always about money.

"I think we would be the right club for someone who is really looking for the right challenge.

"We will see what happens through the pre-season and into August, but I said this would be a major rebuilding job for the club and that is still the case."

Reports in Wales, meanwhile, claim Fowler has verbally agreed to join Cardiff and will settle on personal terms upon his return from Australia.

Vale approach Fowler

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.

Fowler waits for offers

Robbie Fowler admits he has yet to receive any offers since being released by Liverpool.

The former England international did not have his contract renewed by Rafa Benitez after scoring seven goals in 23 appearances last season.

The 32-year-old is keen to find a new club, but concedes he is still waiting for the chance to discuss a move to another team.

"I'm between jobs," Fowler told Sky Sports News. "I actually thought I'd have a few options, but at the minute I've not, nothing has happened as yet.

"There should be interest in a few weeks for me, I think. Obviously I don't want to blow my own trumpet, as in this day and age, lots of players are in my situation and not everyone can get a club.

"I'm in that boat, so we'll just have to wait and see.

"I'm confident in what I can do. I'm 32 and not past it by any means. I feel as though I'm capable of still doing a job, I'm just waiting for that phone call to get any offers."

Fowler wonders whether any interested clubs are being deterred by his past injury troubles, but he insists he is currently in good shape.

He added: "I've not got a bad record in the Premier League. I know I've had a few injuries and people might be scared off by that, I don't know.

"I never played as much as I wanted to last year, but I kept myself in good shape and I think I'm as fit now as what I have been for a long time.

"I don't think I need to prove myself to anyone, my record speaks for itself. I'm not going to stand here and say 'come and get me' because I've played at the top level for 10 or 15 years now and I think that says it all."
