Frank Lampard’s Everton are confident that they will beat Leeds United, Newcastle United and Aston Villa to the signature of James Tarkowski, according to iNews.
Everton to beat Leeds, Aston Villa and Newcastle to James Tarkowski signing
Tarkowski is leaving Burnley this summer, and Everton, Leeds, Villa and Newcastle all are reportedly keen on securing his services on a free transfer.
Everton now reportedly believe that they will beat their Premier League rivals to the English centre-back’s signature.
iNews have reported that Everton manager Frank Lampard has ‘promised him a platform to regain his England place before the winter World Cup that starts in November’.
The Toffees have reportedly made contact with the 29-year-old centre-back and have offered him a long-term contract.
Exciting
In our view, James Tarkowski would be a good signing for Everton in the summer transfer window.
The 29-year-old is a very capable defender who was superb for Burnley over the years.
Everton conceded 66 goals in 38 Premier League matches this past season.
This shows just how bad the Toffees were defensively.
A player of Tarkowski’s quality and ability would make Everton better and more solid at the back.
