Wolves Cort Carl

EXCLUSIVE
Wolves are to open talks with Newcastle striker Carl Cort about a move to Molineux on Thursday.

The Premiership strugglers have approached Newcastle about Cort's availability and are hoping to sign the former Wimbledon star on a permanent basis.

Cort's agent Jonathan Barnett revealed to skysports.com that Wolves are keen on the player and that talks are set to get underway on Thursday.

"Wolves have declared an interest in Carl," Barnett told skysports.com.

"We have not held talks yet, but maybe tomorrow (Thursday).

"We will wait and see what happens."

Newcastle are willing to cut their losses on the striker, who cost £7 million when arriving from Wimbledon in the summer of 2000.

Cort has struggled with injuries during his time on Tyneside and he has not featured in Sir Bobby Robson's first team plans this season.

Wolves boss Dave Jones has held a long-term interest in the player and he tried to sign him last season before his side won promotion to The Premiership.

Jones is keen to bolster his attack, which is currently the lowest scoring in The Premiership, and he will hope that Cort can fire his side to safety if a deal can be agreed.
