da pinnacle： According to The Sun, Leicester are pondering whether to move for James Tarkowski should Harry Maguire leave.
The report claims that Manchester City are interested in the Foxes centre-half who continues to rise in stock.
Losing Maguire would be huge for Leicester but should he be sold, they’d take a considerable windfall as The Sun are suggesting City may have to pay a world-record fee for a defender for his services.
With his departure looming, Tarkowski is being touted as the former Hull man’s possible replacement.
The Burnley defender was brilliant last term but hasn’t found the same sort of consistency throughout 2018/19. However, he’s still found himself a part of Gareth Southgate’s England side.
Rated at £13.5m according to Transfermarkt, Football FanCast writers have given their verdicts on whether he’d be a good successor to Maguire. Here’s what they had to say.
Billy Meyers:
“I think James Tarkowski would be an ideal Harry Maguire replacement. The Burnley defender is an England international, like Maguire, is composed on the ball, and is also a rock-solid defender. If Leicester can recoup a huge fee for a player they paid just £17m for, and then get Tarkowski in for around the same figure, it would represent remarkable business.”
Luke Glanville:
“If they have ambitions of breaking into the top six and into Europe on a more permanent basis, Leicester must keep Harry Maguire. However, if they can’t, Tarwkowsi would be a promising, like-for-like replacement.
At the King Power, he could follow a similar path to the one Maguire has, joining from a lower top-flight team and flourishing, thus making his place in the England side more assure. And the Foxes would be getting a player with the potential to become a Three Lions regular. This would be a smart, smart move for Brendan Rodgers, but only in the event of Maguire’s departure.”
Harry Sherlock:
“Tarkowski would be an excellent replacement for Maguire. He’s a superb tackler of the ball and is a proficient Premier League player who has been central to Burnley’s recent resurgence. If Leicester can get him in, and do it cheaply, then they’ll be absolutely set. It’s a no-brainer.”
