West Ham's Teddy Sheringham is a
target for Sydney FC.
The Australian A-League side claim they have "opened discussions"
with the veteran striker over a $1.2m (£483,000) deal.
The former Manchester United and England forward, who is 41 next
month, is out of favour with Alan Curbishley and out of contract at
Upton Park in the summer.
"He's still playing at the top level and is, by any standards, an
excellent player," club chief executive George Perry told Sydney's
Daily Telegraph.
"He obviously has a wealth of experience and his presence would put
bums on seats. He comes highly recommended and I think he would
create a buzz around the club.
"We don't think he's too old. He's stayed fit and has a presence
about him. He'd be a great ambassador for the club."
Sydney are yet to appoint a full-time replacement for former
England skipper Terry Butcher, who was sacked as coach last
month.
