The Swansea City man is known to Sean Dyche and has played for Burnley twice before.
Cork is out of contract at the end of the coming campaign and could find his opportunities limited following Swansea’s capture of Roque Mesa from Las Palmas – despite starting 25 of the Swans’ Premier League matches last term.

Burnley have lost the services of Joey Barton in Cork’s position and were linked with a move for Stoke City’s veteran midfielder Glenn Whelan on Sunday [The Sun].
But Cork is five years younger than than the 33-year-old, and could be a better bet for the Clarets long-term.
The former Chelsea trainee previously enjoyed two loan spells at Turf Moor, and was borrowed by Watford while Clarets boss Sean Dyche was coaching at Vicarage Road.
It is claimed that Burnley want to push through a deal quickly, with Dyche hopeful of getting it over the line.

The Lancashire side’s coffers have been boosted by last week’s sale of Michael Keane to Everton, in a deal which could reach £30 million.
Would Swansea’s Cork be a good signing for Burnley?
