Perth Glory officials will meet with Harry Kewell on Thursday and the club's owner Tony Sage is making no secret of his interest in signing the currently team-less Australian soccer star.

Mining magnate Sage told Radio 6PR this morning that he had met Kewell "by chance" on Tuesday and that meeting will now give way to more official talks with the club's chief executive Paul Kelly and coach Ian Ferguson on Thursday.

Kewell, 34, is best known for his European exploits with Leeds United and Liverpool but his high-profile move to the A-League's Melbourne Victory last summer did not work out particularly well for him or the club.

"He told me wants to play for Australia again and the only way to do that is to start playing," Sage said.
