Newcastle are in pole position to sign Burnley centre-back James Tarkowski, according to reports.
The 29-year-old is into the final six months of his contract at Turf Moor, meaning that the Clarets could risk losing him for nothing if they don't move him on in the current transfer window.
The Premier League outfit are prepared to listen to offers for Tarkowski, and Newcastle look well-placed to land him, with West Ham now looking for alternative options while Leicester want to bring in a player on a short-term loan deal instead, as reported by The Sun.
