Chelsea youngster to gain further first-team experience

Skysports.com understands Coventry City have agreed a deal to sign Chelsea youngster Jack Cork on loan until January. Cork, who can play in defence or midfield, is highly rated at Stamford Bridge and is expected to sign a new three-year contract with the Premier League club. However, Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti is keen for the 20-year-old to gain more first-team experience and has sanctioned another loan move. In recent seasons, Cork has undertaken loan stints at Bournemouth, Scunthorpe, Southampton and Watford, and is now set to join Coventry. He played against the Sky Blues three times last season during spells with Southampton and Watford, but will now form part of Chris Coleman's plans. Providing the deal is completed in time, Cork is likely to be in Coleman's squad for Saturday's Championship game at home to Swansea City.
