Burnley defender James TarkowskiNewcastle haven't dropped plans for Burnley defender James Tarkowski during the January transfer window.

The Sun's Alan Nixon reports the Magpies are going to make a fresh bid for Tarkowski.

However, the Clarets are going to require a significant sum, like they did for Chris Wood.

Toon manager Eddie Howe requires two centre-backs to save his team from relegation.

Tarkowski comes off contract at the end of the season.
