Sir Bobby Robson has reavealed how he is willing to send Carl Cort to West Ham in part-exchange for Kanoute.

Spurs' have offered West Ham £3 million for Kanoute, but the Hammers are demanding £5 million.

Kanoute's agent, Willie McKay, told BBC Sport Online: "The current position is that there is this difference in the transfer valuation.

"Spurs want to pay £3 million and West Ham want £5 million. I'm hopeful something will be sorted out but it looks like there will have to be a bit of give and take.

"I think when they can sort it something will happen with Freddie and Spurs."
