Leicester City fail with £30m bid to sign Burnley defender James Tarkowski

Leicester City have failed with a bid of around £30m to land the signature of Burnley centre-back James Tarkowski, The Telegraph reports.

The England international has been a long-term target for the Foxes and they were initially interested in signing him last summer after the sale of Harry Maguire to Manchester United.

It was recently revealed that the Foxes had revived their pursuit of the 27-year-old and were discussing a possible £30m deal with the Clarets.

However, it appears that Sean Dyche’s side have quickly snubbed the approach from the Foxes despite the fact that the club were prepared to include some add-ons.
