Fulham join the race for out-of-contract Burnley defender James Tarkowski with Aston Villa and Everton in the mix as the Cottagers also eye Matt Targett after his impressive Newcastle loan spell

Fulham have joined Aston Villa and Everton in the mix for Burnley defender James Tarkowski.

The 29-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and has a growing list of suitors.

The likelihood of Tarkowski leaving Turf Moor in June increased after the Clarets were relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the season after a survival dog fight with Leeds.

The centre-back spent six and a half seasons at Burnley after a midseason move from Brentford in 2016.
