Leicester City could land Burnley ace in cut-price deal, Everton set to appoint Ancelotti, and more

Leicester City were linked with James Tarkowski in the summer window, and there are reports that they could finally land him for a cut-price fee.

Leicestershire Live report that the Foxes could land Tarkowski for £25m due to a strange clause.

Tarkowski reportedly has a £40m release clause, however the clause is only applicable to clubs from the North-West, presumably to cover a move from one of the Manchester giants, or perhaps Liverpool.

As Leicester City are in the Midlands, the clause would only cover to £25m - a decent price for a top defender.

Tarkowski is contracted for a few years yet, and Clarets fans will hope to keep hold of him.
