The 29-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and has a growing list of suitors. Fulham have joined Aston Villa and Everton in the mix for Burnley defender James Tarkowski. Fulham join the race for out-of-contract Burnley defender James Tarkowski with Aston Villa and Everton in the mix - and they also eye Matt Targett after his impressive Newcastle loan spell

The Clarets centre-back will be out of contract when the summer transfer window opens and doesn't seem to hold any intentions of extending his deal at Turf ...

Plenty of other Premier League sides have been linked with a move for Tarkowski as he has been one of the most consistent top-flight defenders in the last few seasons. Whether the interest that United once held in Tarkowski remains is unclear but, even if Burnley had managed to stay up, he was set to run his contract down. The Magpies have been heavily linked with the signing of Tarkowski who will be available on a free when the summer transfer window opens.

Burnley star Maxwel Cornet could make way for £17.5million after just one season with the club thanks to a relegation clause in his deal.

Either way, it is unlikely to see a player of Cornet’s quality plying his trade in the second tier of English football. A report from The Athletic details a clause in his contract, which means he can now leave for £17.5million, due to the relegation. It is more than likely that Cornet will leave Burnley, given the clause in his contract. There are a few players that will likely not take too well to the idea of playing in the Championship. He ended as their top goalscorer, with nine goals – the highest league tally of his career. In his first five games, the Ivorian scored four goals, including a brace against Southampton.

SUPPORTERS of Burnley FC have been sharing their reactions following the clubs relegation from the Premier League on Sunday.

It’s been a great few years." Come on Burnley!" Andy Peters added: "Time to get the #EastLancashireDerby back next season." and I’ve been in a coffin full of snakes. Journalist and former spin doctor Alastair Campbell, who also attended the game, put a positive spin on Burnley's relegation - saying he won't miss having to wait up to see Burnley feature on Match of the Day anymore. SUPPORTERS of Burnley Football Club had a day to forget yesterday as the club dropped into the second tier of English football for the first time in six years.

The Clarets' home defeat to Newcastle on Sunday proved fatal.

“I understand you’ve got to ask the question but I don’t think that’s for now,” he said. You have to take small steps to get yourselves going again and I’m sure that’s what the club will try and do.” It’s about small steps, planning, and making sure you’ve got everything in place to be able to do that.”

Let's not get too much ahead of where we're now, though, and hand the last three Seahorse Awards of the 2021-22 Premier League campaign to the last that put on ...

So good, this New Newcastle, that even when faced with adversity and a potential dark spot entering the summer they still found a way to dodge another bullet. “Just a big thank you from me to them for everything they’ve given the team, the club. “I’m privileged to lead the team. Trips started on the right flank of the defensive line, logged the most touches of any and every Magpie on Sunday (74) by a mile (Bruno was second with “only” 60), and didn’t lose possession of the ball at all. He had a boot on, but said he was okay, so that’s great news.” “December was a very difficult month for us.” Then we suffered the low of Cambridge (in theFA Cup).” We don’t know about that yet as it seems Eddie Howe and the new owners have yet to sit with Targett and discuss their potential incorporation to the club on a full-time basis after getting to Tyneside on loan from Aston Villa last January. While others such as Jamaal Lascelles and Dan Burn got the bulkier stats on things such as clearances compared to Targett, the latter had the most important deflection/blocked-shot one as he prevented Burnley from tying the game in the last minutes of the match thanks to a goal-line header that saved the Magpies day for good. Wilson proved his worth for the Magpies and the absolutely perfect role he plays in Eddie Howe’s tactical scheme above the likes of Chris Wood upfront. Let’s not get too much ahead of where we’re now, though, and hand the last three Seahorse Awards of the 2021-22 Premier League campaign to the last that put on the best performances in the 1-2 win away at Burnley. In his first game fully fit and with the legs in their place, Wilson simply excelled. Ah, it’s going to be a couple of tough summer months without the Magpies in action, but thanks to the new board and last October’s takeover we should at least get some transfer-market entertainment.

Burnley captain Ben Mee has taken to social media to thank the club's supporters for their support, in a Premier League season which ended with the ...

I just want to thank you guys for your support throughout the season - I know it has been a difficult one. The 32-year-old did not touch on that matter in this instance, which leaves his future open to interpretation for the time being. Defender Mee has been a colossal figure at the back for the Turf Moor outfit over the years.

The relegated club need a new manager and will lose several players this summer, but keeping captain Ben Mee is crucial.

Huddersfield and Burnley are comparative in terms of size of club and stadium. When Huddersfield went down they assigned their parachute payments to a bank loan debt, although their Championship finishes of 18th and 20th in the two seasons after relegation from the Premier League will not fill Burnley fans with confidence. Huddersfield sold Philip Billing and Aaron Mooy following relegation, replacing them with cheaper options and bringing in a large number of players on loan over the course of the season. Due to the disappointing nature of the season, few in the Burnley ranks will fetch a high price. This leads to a problem for a club who are not known for their recruitment, rarely dipping their toes into the market during Dyche’s final years in charge. Premier League TV rights money provided 90% of income for the club during the years affected by Covid, something Burnley will lose from next season.

Defeat to Newcastle United on Sunday saw Burnley relegated from the Premier League as Leeds United stayed up.

Burnley have relegation wage cuts in place to absorb some of the financial impact of going down, while offers will be listened to for players from top flight clubs. The Ivory Coast international is understood to not be the only player with a relegation release clause in the Clarets squad. Chris Wood was sold to Newcastle United in January and around half of the £25m fee was spent on 29-year-old striker Wout Weghorst, who scored two goals in 20 league outings. Defender James Tarkowski is set to leave the club upon the expiry of his contract and he won't be the only one to do so this summer. He is likely to be the flagship sale while Cornet's clause will most likely see him move on. Relegation leaves the club as a less attractive proposition while club value will naturally drop.

Unless the threatened legal action against the Premier League and Everton returns some dividends, the immediate future looks grim for Burnley, ...

Relegation comes less than two months after Burnley sacked Sean Dyche, with interim coach Mike Jackson picking up three wins, two draws and three defeats ...

(The 72) The Reds are thought to have placed a £17 million price tag on the 27-year-old's head. The winger was called up to the England U20 squad earlier this year.

Though former owner Mike Garlick must take his fair share of the blame, Burnley's new hierarchy are gambling with the club's future.

Tensions remained in the wake of the change of ownership. Tarkowski is among nine players at the end of their deals and able to leave, with little incentive to stay given salaries will be automatically reduced. The club was for some time without a chief executive, technical director and head of academy. The four-year contract Dyche signed last September was described as a "marriage of convenience" by one insider. There was no immediate explanation for why Burnley had taken the money as a loan now, rather than wait 12 months for Newcastle to cough up the rest of the cash. Everton and Aston Villa are already doing battle for the signing of defender James Tarkowski, who is out of contract this summer. However, there remains some confusion over how much a club with a proud history of retaining cash reserves has in the bank as it stands. For a club now facing life without the Premier League TV money that currently accounts for 90 per cent of revenues, there will also be concern over interest rates for the debt within the club. Pace, a former Wall Street financier who led the US consortium ALK Capital, has described the exact details of the takeover as confidential. The £170million deal secured by ALK Capital in December 2020 loaded the club with eye-watering levels of debt. To some disappointment there would be no ambitious signings that summer to build on the record arrival of the previous season, Chris Wood. However, as he brokered a sale, the club's ability to bounce back from the Championship became a good deal more brittle than it had been after previous Premier League relegations in 2010 and 2015.

Relegated Burnley and last-day survivors Leeds want proof Everton did not break FFP regulations.

Everton sources told i that they have worked with the league over two years to ensure rules have been followed. Burnley have sent a follow-up communication to the league and to Everton warning them not to delete any data relating to sponsorship and the stadium. It is another unwanted headache for owner Alan Pace, who also has to make a decision over the managerial vacancy at the club.

Nine players are out of contract, other key assets are set to be sold and a new manager must be appointed ahead of next season after Burnley were relegated ...

ALK chief Alan Pace, who borrowed almost £40m from the club’s own accounts when taking over, has been described by Dyche as a straight shooter. However, they are more reliant than any side on broadcast money, with about 90 per cent of their revenue derived from television, according to the balance sheet. Losing so many proven performers diminishes Burnley's promotion hopes and increases the need for a more drawn-out rebuild.

Mike Jackson was unable to turn around Burnley's tough situation in his seven games and will be the one in charge as they face relegation...

“I can only say it how I feel. I said to the lads in there how it’s been a pleasure to work with a group that’s fought to the end. “For the fans and the group of lads in there, I’m gutted, to be honest.
