Saints snap up Cork
Southampton boss Jan Poortvliet has signed Blues midfielder Jack Cork on loan until the end of the year.
Poortvliet had been looking for a defender to replace Andrew Davies, who moved to Stoke on Tuesday, and Cork joined in Saints' training on Thursday.
England U19 captain Cork, 19, spent last season on loan at Scunthorpe, where he was voted the relegated club's player of the year.
