Ian Dawes has been in caretaker charge since Rovers split with Micky Mellon last month but landing Fowler would be a boost for the Wirral outfit.

Fowler would not need  a lucrative deal as he is independently wealthy.

The legendary striker spent nine years at Liverpool across two stints with spells at Leeds and Manchester City in between.

The former England international retired in 2012, a year after taking over at Thai club Muangthong United as player-manager.

The 48-year-old then tried his luck in Australia seven years ago as the head coach of Brisbane Roar.

Fowler only stayed a year until he decided to step down and return to England to be close to his family after the coronavirus pandemic broke out.

The Liverpool legend then took over at Indian club East Bengal in 2020 but left a year later.

The ex-Cardiff star is still looking for his first managerial job in the UK, where he stood out as a player.

Fowler has previously applied for the manager’s job at his old club Leeds, and was linked with the Swindon post.

He also threw his hat into the ring for the top job at Bradford City last year but to no avail.

Tranmere are in 11th place in the League Two Table with 15 wins and 17 losses out of 44 matches.
