Hammers table £27m bid for defender
John Percy writing for the Telegraph broke the news first yesterday evening but like his Grady Diangana Exclusive, three days earlier the actual amount is wrong.
Percy suggested that a £20m offer had been tabled for the Burnley defender but Claret and Hugh have learnt the actual bid amount was £27m.
The Telegraph suggested the bid had been turned down but we do not believe that is the case as it stands with the Hammers still waiting to hear a response.
Leicester City had had a bid of £20m snubbed by Burnley for defender Tarkowski in 2019 and publicly the Clarets value their defender at £50m.
David Moyes is understood to have a number of backup options should Burnley decide not to sell their England defender in this transfer window.
