# Wolves: Fans react to James Tarkowski link

**Wolverhampton Wanderers are considering a move for Burnley centre-back James Tarkowski, according to a report from [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/06/22/transfer-notebook-wolves-west-ham-keen-move-burnleys-james-tarkowski/)‘s Mike McGrath.**

Wolves have already signed a centre-back in the form of 20-year-old Yerson Mosquera but are said to be intent on recruiting another.

Tarkowski is about to enter the [final year of his contract](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/06/22/transfer-notebook-wolves-west-ham-keen-move-burnleys-james-tarkowski/), and Burnley may already be lining up a replacement.

McGrath’s colleague John Percy reports that the Clarets have [agreed a £12million fee](https://twitter.com/JPercyTelegraph/status/1407268047229009925) for Stoke City’s Nathan Collins.

### Wolves will have to battle for Tarkowski’s signature

Wolves could face competition for Tarkowski from West Ham United.

And the Hammers may have a crucial advantage in that they are able to offer the Englishman European football in 2021/22.

Tarkowski made 36 Premier League appearances for Burnley last season, averaging 4.6 successful aerial duels, 4.4 clearances, 1.8 tackles and 1.2 blocks per 90 minutes (via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/131464/Show/James-Tarkowski)).

The 28-year-old is valued at £22.5million by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-tarkowski/profil/spieler/173504).

Fan feed [Talking Wolves](https://twitter.com/TalkingWolves/status/1407262777689976834) relayed the report, and here’s how fans reacted, with one supporter saying this could be ‘huge’ news.
