Australian A-League side Sydney FC have offered a contract to former Manchester United and England striker Teddy Sheringham, local media reported on Monday.
Sheringham, who will be 41 next month, is out of favour with Premier League club West Ham United and has been offered a one-season contract with the option of a second year, Sydney's Daily Telegraph reported.
The paper said Sheringham has spoken about the move with former Old Trafford team mate Dwight Yorke, who guided Sydney to the inaugural A-League title last year before returning to England with Sunderland.
Sydney chief executive George Perry said the club had opened negotiations with the striker who started his professional career with Millwall in 1984.
'He's still playing at the top level and is by any standards an excellent player,' Perry was quoted as saying.
'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.'
The Telegraph said Sydney moved for Sheringham after a bid for Charlton Athletic's Dutch international striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink fell through over the player's salary demands.
