BURNLEY have missed out on signing Jack Cork after the former loan star completed a move to Southampton.
Cork said at the end of last season that he would consider rejoining Burnley, where he had spent the last 18 months on loan, but the Clarets were unable to agree a fee with Chelsea.
The 22-year-old spent today making a final decision over his future but his choice was understood to have been between Southampton and Nottingham Forest, the only two clubs to have had offers accepted.
Southampton had their bid accepted in late May but Cork was initially reluctant to move to a club that had been newly promoted from League One.
A number of Championship clubs, including Leeds, were interested and Forest became the second club to have an offer accepted. .
