Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez has confirmed that the club are not trying to bring Michael Owen back to Anfield.
With his current contract expiring at the end of the season, Owen could leave Newcastle in January for a cut-price fee.
The need for a solution to Liverpool's striking problems was stressed when Liverpool were held to 0-0 draw by West Ham at Anfield, sorely missing Fernando Torres who is sidelined due to a hamstring injury.
However, Benítez believes that the injury-prone Owen is not an answer for their problems.
"We will have Fernando Torres back soon, and I can assure everyone that clearly we are not going for Michael Owen," he insisted.
