Wolverhampton Wanderers are considering a move for Burnley centre-back James Tarkowski, according to a report from The Telegraph'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, and Burnley may already be lining up a replacement.

McGrath's colleague John Percy reports that the Clarets have agreed a £12million fee 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).

The 28-year-old is valued at £22.5million by Transfermarkt.

"This would be the most popular signing in years. Think he was touted around 35m last summer if you can get him anywhere around 20m be a great deal. Just a proper CB"
