    <p class="big">Port Vale have confirmed they have made an approach to sign former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler.</p>

    The League One outfit have joined a host of clubs chasing Fowler, who has also played for Leeds United and Manchester City.</p>

    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.</p>

    However, Port Vale chairman Bill Bratt hopes the lure of regular first-team football could attract the former England forward.</p>

    &quot;We've approached Robbie Fowler's agent to see whether he would be interested in playing for Port Vale,&quot; said Bratt.</p>

    &quot;We can offer him regular football and at his age that may be what he is looking for.</p>

    &quot;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.</p>

    &quot;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.</p>

    &quot;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.&quot;</p>

    Fowler's agent George Scott told the Sentinel: &quot;I've had many a good night in Stoke-on-Trent, so you never know.</p>

    &quot;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.&quot;</p>

    Fowler has scored 162 Premier League goals and has also netted seven international goals in 26 England appearances. </p>

    Port Vales wage budget is 1.4 million.</p>

    I can't see them having the money for Fowler.</p>

    Sydney FC talking to Robbie Fowler.....

    </p>

    'Marquee (marquis?) player and all that... like Beckham at LA Wotsits. Like ar Dwight a couple of years ago. Tony Popovic is finishing his career here, too. Getting better this league.... mid-div1 I reckon.</p>

    Also,check out Nick Carle who is just getting a run with the Socceroos. I spoke to him twice last year and tried to get him go over to Barnsley 'cos he wasn't getting a chance at the national team (the best players go overseas and are favoured). He said visas were a problem with the UK. He has gone to Fenerbahce now.</p>
