Burnley defender James Tarkowski is emerging as a sought after player for the January transfer window.

The 28-year-old wanted to leave for West Ham United in the summer, but was denied a move.

He has since stated he will not renew his contract at Turf Moor.

Eurosport has claimed Tarkowski may leave in the January transfer window.

Burnley do not want him to leave, and would resist offers from the likes of Leicester City and West Ham United.

The Clarets still hold out hope that a club takeover in the coming months could convince Tarkowski to stay, especially if it appears the club will spend more money in the transfer market.
