Yorke ponders Sydney deal

Birmingham's Dwight Yorke has travelled to Australia to hold talks with Sydney FC.

The former Manchester United man will also journey to the Middle East in a bid to secure a move away from St Andrews, although Sydney appear to be favourites to land the striker.

Yorke has made just four starts since joining Steve Bruce's side in the summer, and has now flown across the world to assess the merits of a move to the A-League side.

Sydney coach Pierre Littbarski is keen to sign the 33-year-old Trinidad & Tobago international, and Yorke will mull over his options in the near future.

"It's something I would definitely consider, I wouldn't waste my time if there wasn't an offer on the table," Yorke told Sky Sports News.

"There is an offer on the table, we came here to see what the offer is all about and we're taking it very seriously; that's why I am here.

"We are planning to go to United Arab Emirates as well, and if I'm totally honest there are some offers there as well.

"But Sydney have put their money where their mouth is and we are here to sum up the whole thing.

"We won't waste anyone's time and we'll make a decision in the near future."

Yorke also held out hope that disgraced former Chelsea man Mark Bosnich would make the move Down Under, after the keeper signalled an intention to resurrect his career.

The Australian international and Yorke became friends after a spell at Aston Villa together, although Bosnich has been out of the game since being sacked by Chelsea for cocaine abuse in 2003.

"We have a history together as friends and of course I'm sure the Australian people would welcome him back to football," Yorke continued.

"He's been through a difficult time but if the opportunity is there for him I'm sure he will want to come back to where he belongs."
