Newcastle United are considering to add striker Carl Cort to the deal which could bring Southampton fullback Wayne Bridge to St James' Park.

Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson is considering adding striker Carl Cort to the deal for Southampton fullback Wayne Bridge.

Wayne Bridge would cost Newcastle £7 Million and Sir Bobby would like to get the deal sorted before the end of this month.

Southampton boss Gordon Strachan is apparently an admirer of Cort and as things stand he could be offered the former Wimbledon striker as part of Newcastle's Bridge bid.
