  Championship - Owls make shock Kluivert move
  
  Patrick Kluivert could be in line for a shock move to Sheffield Wednesday, after the Championship side offered the former Dutch international a trial.
  
  The 31-year-old played for PSV Eindhoven last season but was released this summer, and Owls boss Brian Laws says he wants to have a look at the player.
  
  "I have a strong contact in Holland who is Kluivert's agent," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.
  
  "We've invited the boy down and I want to run the rule over him. It is just a possibility and is nothing concrete at the moment but we've made an enquiry."
  
  Kluivert has 79 caps for Holland, scoring 40 goals, and has played for the likes of Milan, Ajax, Barcelona and Valencia.
  
  He also had a short spell in the Premiership with Newcastle United, scoring six times in 14 appearances.

  Maybe Kluviert will ask for a lower wages instead of higher wages which he "used" to earn?

  Kluivert rejects Owls offer
  
  Patrick Kluivert has decided not to accept Sheffield Wednesday's offer of a trial.
  
  Owls boss Brian Laws announced earlier this week that he had invited the Dutchman to train with his squad.
  
  Kluivert has been restricted by injuries in recent seasons and was only able to make five starts for PSV Eindhoven last term.
  
  He is looking to play more regularly and is thrilled to have received the offer from Sheffield Wednesday.
  
  But the 30-year-old is not planning to join The Owls and will instead consider other options.
  
  "I am flattered with the interest," he told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.
  
  "However, a move to Sheffield Wednesday is not in my future plans.
  
  "I will wait and see what happens. My agent will show me all the options I have and after that I will make a decision."
