Michael Owen believes he will still find a top fight club before the transfer window closes next weekend.
The 32-year-old former England forward was released by Manchester United at the end of last season, after three years at Old Trafford.
He was in talks over a move to Al Shabab in the Pro League earlier this summer, but now believes he will find a new club by the end of the week.
He added: "I've spoken to quite a few teams and it's a case of picking the best which is going to suit me and my family.
"I've said before I'd prefer that to be in the Premier League and that remains the case.
"Different things will form the basis of making the right choice: location - it would be great if I could stay at home but if not then so be it.
"The quality of the team, the manager - everything really so hopefully I shall pick the right one."
