New Delhi: David Beckham may not be the only Englishman to show off his skills at San Siro next month, as speculation regarding the Inter Milan striker position intensifies.
So far this season in Serie A, Inter coach Jose Mourinho has struggled to find adequate support up-front for star man Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Swede has bagged 10 league goals, but the next highest scoring forward for the Nerazzurri is Julio Cruz with two, while Victor Obinna and Adrian have found the net once.
It is expected that the one player brought to the club in January will be a striker to partner Ibrahimovic, and over the past few days Newcastle United frontman Michael Owen has been heavily linked.
The Corriere dello Sport today claims that Owen, whose contract at St James’ Park runs out in the summer, could arrive next month in an exchange deal, with the Inter-owned David Suazo, currently on loan at Benfica, moving the other way.
This would satisfy Mourinho until the end of the season, when it is likely he will be re-united with Chelsea’s Didier Drogba in time for the start of the 2008/09 campaign.
