Leicester consider move for Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah if they can't bring in Burnley's James Tarkowski

Leicester are considering a move for Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah if they cannot agree a deal for Burnley’s James Tarkowski.

As Sportsmail reported in August, the Clarets are still demanding £50million for the centre-back, with Leicester offering an in excess of £30m on Friday, which was subsequently turned down.

Tarkowski is interested in joining Leicester, who attempted to sign him last summer, but the deal rests over whether Burnley can be persuaded to lower their valuation of the 27-year-old, who has less than two years left on his contract and turns 28 in November.
