James Tarkowski is likely to become one of the first signings of the new Newcastle United era with the Burnley defender said to be keen on the move, according to reports.

Newcastle are under new Saudi ownership after a £305million deal was agreed with Mike Ashley and signed off by the Premier League on Thursday.

After the Saudi-backed takeover led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman went through, the club's new chairman - Yasir Al-Rumayyan - penned a letter in which he talks about their ambitions and pledged to deliver a team that the fans can be proud of.
