Defender keen on move and unlikely to join West HamLeicester having no joy in push for St-Étienne’s Wesley FofanaLeicester hope to convince Burnley to sell James Tarkowski after making a bid of more than £30m for the centre-back. Although Leicester are trying to sign Wesley Fofana from St-Étienne, they have also long held an interest in Tarkowski and have had one offer knocked back by Burnley. They hope their latest proposal will be enough to land the 28-year-old, who has also been targeted by West Ham.
Burnley have demanded as much as £50m for Tarkowski, who believes that moving to a bigger club will help his chances of regaining a place in the
England squad, and have turned down several offers from West Ham. David Sullivan, West Ham’s co-owner, indicated this week that the defender could be too expensive. It is understood the chances of Tarkowski, who is interested in joining Leicester, moving to the
London Stadium are slim.
