West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine is keen on Southampton midfielder Jack Cork.
The Birmingham Mail says Albion have identified former Chelsea man Cork as a potential replacement should George Thorne leave.
The 25-year-old is out of contract next summer, with no sign of him agreeing a new deal with the Saints. If that remains the case then he could be available for a cut-price fee this summer.
