Burnley have confirmed James Tarkowski’s exit with the centre-back’s prospective move to Everton appearing to edge closer.
Like Everton, the Clarets have today announced their retained and released list with 14 professionals departing Turf Moor following their relegation from the Premier League.
Ben Mee, Phil Bardsley, Dale Stephens, Erik Pieters and former Everton winger Aaron Lennon were all on the released list, along with Tarkowski, who Burnley stated had “Expressed his desire earlier in the season to seek an opportunity elsewhere when his contract expires, and he will also depart after more than 200 appearances for the club.”
