Leicester edge closer to £37m capture of Burnley defender James Tarkowski as Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers targets three more signings before transfer window closes

Leicester are set to make a new bid for James Tarkowski in the coming days with Burnley prepared to sell the defender for about £37million.

The Foxes have turned their attentions to Tarkowski for the second consecutive summer after becoming frustrated in their pursuit of St Etienne centre-back Wesley Fofana.

Leicester's initial bid of about £30m plus add-ons was rejected last week but Sportsmail understands £37m would be enough to do the deal.
