The dependable defender has signed a new contract with Burnley.
Burnley’s impressive displays this season have been built upon their defensive resilience, with James Tarkowski having played a major part in that regard.
Tarkowski had been linked with a move away from Burnley amidst interest from Arsenal and Chelsea, as reported by The Daily Express.
However, the centre-back has committed his future to Burnley by signing a new contract that is set to run until the summer of 2022, as reported by the club’s official website.
Tarkowski has produced some outstanding performances for Burnley, impressing with his leadership skills and his reading of the game.
Retaining the services of Tarkowski, who has stepped up admirably following the departure of Michael Keane to Everton last summer, is hugely important for Burnley in terms of helping them to maintain their current momentum, which sees them in seventh place in the Premier League.
In fact, even if Burnley do make some inspired signings this month it seems rather unlikely that any deals will top keeping Tarkowski in terms of importance to the club’s overall situation.
Tarkowski has proven himself to be a dependable performer for Sean Dyche’s side and will look to continue to excel in the second half of the campaign.
