Chelsea starlet to be rewarded before being loaned out
Skysports.com understands Jack Cork is poised to sign a new deal at Chelsea before being sent out on loan.

Chelsea are believed to be keen to tie down the highly-rated Cork to a new three-year deal to ward off interest from other Premier League clubs.

The 20-year-old is highly regarded by the Chelsea coaching staff and is tipped for a big future in the game having represented England at every level from Under 16 to Under 21.

Cork, who can play in defence or midfield, has enjoyed spells out on loan at Bournemouth, Sc**thorpe, Southampton and Watford in the last few seasons as Chelsea look for him to gain valuable first-team experience.

A number of Premier League clubs are believed to have sounded out a move for Cork this summer, but Chelsea are keen to keep hold of him.

However, Chelsea are open to the idea of loaning out Cork again and a host of Championship clubs are thought to be battling to land the player before the close of the transfer window

Wouldn't surprise me to see him at Reading, Brendan is a big, big fan of Cork and reckons he's ready for the PL.

Ahhh, I like Jack Cork. Somehow he makes me think of the Artful Dodger.

[geezer]

Been sent to Coventry for four months. Apparently they put in a bid for him which was turned down flat. The club really do seem to think highly of the lad

i think the reserve team opponents are deemed to be very poor , so it makes sense to bring on their development in a higher grade of football

According to BBC he is off to Burnley on loan until the end of the season!

Hopefully this winds up being more fruitful for the player than Di Santo's move did. Gonna be great to see him in the prem, hope he can get a few games.

Didn't know Van Aanholt had gone to Newcastle ???????

Yep, he played last night and saved Newcastle from conceding a goal with a block on the line!

I agree....hopefully he gets some game time, looking forward to getting to watch him more.

I do not know much about Jack but I hope he does well on loan at Burnley in the time that he is there.

Cork article on Sky Sports

[Alex]

I think its good that hes getting loaned out rather than just sitting in the ressies. Espicially now he is at Burnely, hopefully he can get some decent first team prem experience. He is unfortunate that he plays in a position where we have had some of the best in the world

[Ruh Buh Juh]

He played today against Villa. He looked composed on the ball and had good eye for a pass. Looking good for Corky.

[Mikstaw]

I like him... He looked very good!

[sleepy_gonzalez]

From the brief highlights of the villa game he looked great, involved in the best Burnley move of the game. Also it's nice to see that he's integrated into the team in a fairly brief period, being part of good passing moves and interplay - surely a good indicator of his application and intelligence? At the very least, the commentator seemed to think that his performance had been good throughout the match, and not just in the brief glimpses that we saw. Round of applause for Jack Cork!

Cheers for the link to the article. You have to wonder how to take him saying it's been frustrating. In all probability it's the journalist putting emphasis on a passing comment, by the sounds of it the Chelsea staff openly rate him so let's hope he can keep the faith and endure the 'frustration' of loans and waiting for first team action, I'm sure everyone on here will be rooting for him to make the breakthrough.

Cork was great yesterday, very impressive.

Also, what happened to Lofty?

[blizeH]

Another very good performance from him so far. Gives Burnley some options going forward and seems very comfortable on the ball

[Anders]

Finished a great loan spell with a goal. Excited to see what he can do in Chelsea.
