JACK Cork has revealed he would be in favour of a move to Burnley if Chelsea are prepared to let him go in the summer.

The Clarets are expected to have the first option to buy the £2million-valued midfielder at the end of his season-long loan at Turf Moor.

And Cork, in his second spell with the Clarets, insists he would have no arguments about a full-time return, after admitting he feels “at home” and “wanted” at the club.

“Ever since I came here I’ve said how much I liked it and how good the lads were helping me settle in. It’s no different now,” said the 21-year-old.

“We have a good changing room and it does feel like home at the minute and I’m really enjoying my stay.”

Since emerging through the youth ranks at Stamford Bridge, Cork has been loaned out eight times – twice at the same club.

But, like former team-mate Scott Sinclair, who was reunited with his former Chelsea youth coach Brendan Rodgers when he signed for Swansea last summer, he admitted he is ready to settle down.

“I think I am to be fair,” said the former Bournemouth, Scunthorpe, Southampton and Coventry loanee, who also spent half a season at tomorrow’s opponents, Watford, in 2008/09.

“Hopefully this summer will be the time for me to move on.”

Cork has 140 league appearances under his belt, but has never featured for his parent club, and that’s a situation he has accepted is unlikely to change in the future.

However, he insists he has no regrets about choosing Chelsea for his grounding.

“It is difficult (trying to break into the Chelsea first team) but I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my time anywhere else,” he said.

“I had a great coach in Brendan Rodgers, who took me from the youth team and when I went up to reserves level he did too.

“I don’t think I could have learnt the stuff I learnt there anywhere else, so I’m really grateful for the time I had there.

“It’s unfortunate it’s not worked out for me yet there, but hopefully something will happen in the summer.

“I think (a permanent move) would probably be the plan.

“I don’t want to be sat there feeling like I’m not wanted. I’d like to go somewhere and feel like I am part of their club.”

And he is’t ruling out a return to Turf Moor.

“I wouldn’t want to go somewhere I’m not happy,” he continued.

“I don’t like going to settle at new places, so it would be a good option to come here.”

But Cork admitted he isn’t in a hurry for a return to centre half, despite deputising well there for England Under 21s in midweek.

“I’ve played there a little bit before, and I felt comfortable,” he said.

“But it’s not something I want to do in this league at the minute though. There are some big guys kicking about!”
