Much of the Everton transfer rumours early in this summer window have focused on the possibility of James Tarkowski joining the club.
The Burnley defender has come to the end of his current contract with the club following the close of the 2021/22 season. And, with their relegation to the Championship now confirmed, it seems only a matter of time before his free transfer to another side follows suit.
The Blues are said to be at the front of the queue for the 29-year-old with a number of Premier League rivals also interested in potentially taking the centre-back on. It's an area of the squad Frank Lampard and Kevin Thelwell will clearly want to improve, and not only in the defensive sense you might imagine.
