Everton completes the signing of James Tarkowski

James Tarkowski’s arrival at Everton was anticipated by many after he was heavily linked to the Premier League side after his Burnley contract expired earlier this week. Tarkowski would be Everton’s first signing of the summer. The Turf Moor defender joined the free agency only a week back and has already nailed down a new home in a four-year deal at Goodison Park.

Everton raised a lot of funds with Richarlison’s recent sale to Tottenham, which was a relief to the side that was running into losses worth £370million over the last three financial years. Tarkowski works with players it was evident in his partnership with Ben Mee during the six-year stint with Burnley. He made 194 Premier League appearances with the team after moving from Brentford. Frank Lampard hopes with Tarkowski they can improve their defence next season.
