Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson is set to resurrect his interest in West Ham winger Trevor Sinclair.

Robson made a move for the England international over the summer, but was frightened off by West Ham's £10 asking price.

However, with the Hammers now preparing for life in the First Division and manager Glenn Roeder desperate for fresh funds to strengthen his line-up, a January deal could be on.

Robson is lining up Sinclair as a replacement for Laurent Robert, who remains an £8 million target for Inter Milan.
