Sean Dyche offers no assurances on James Tarkowski’s future at Burnley amid West Ham interest | Local News

Speaking ahead of Burnley’s game with Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, Dyche offered no assurances about the defender’s long-term future.

“Especially in modern football, contracts are a different ball game,” he said.

“Twenty years ago the players signed a contract and six months later they are sold.

“All I would say about James is he’s a fantastic professional, he’s been since he’s been here and he continues to be. His form this season has been absolutely excellent.

Dyche also spoke of his surprise that the former Brentford star continues to be overlooked by the England setup.

“I’m still wondering about the England setup but this is one of the challenges for Gareth (Southgate) who has a lot of good players to choose from.

“That’s my goal with him and he continues to do business.”
