Burnley issue firm stance on Tarkowski

But Burnley are determined not to sell their captain to The Magpies next month and are willing to risk losing the centre-back on a free at the end of the season, according to The Northern Echo.
The Clarets sit just above Newcastle in the Premier League in 19th and are not willing to risk their top-flight status further by selling to a direct rival.
Newcastle are still expected to make a formal offer for Tarkowski next month with the sides set to meet for a crucial match at St. James’s Park this Saturday (3pm kick-off).
