Sheffield Wednesday have offered a trial to former Holland striker Patrick Kluivert.

The ex-Ajax, AC Milan and Barcelona forward - currently at PSV Eindhoven - has already had a spell in England when he spent the 2004/05 season with Newcastle United.

Owls manager Brian Laws confirmed the Coca-Cola Championship club have invited the 31-year-old for a trial but played down its significance.

Laws told BBC Radio: 'I have a strong contact in Holland who is Kluivert's agent.
