Burnley defender James Tarkowski has signed a new four-and-a-half-year deal with the club, putting an end to recent transfer speculation.
The 25-year-old, who joined the Clarets from Brentford in January 2016, has been linked with the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal over the past few weeks.
Tarkowski is to remain at Turf Moor for the long term, however, with his latest contract seeing him through until the summer of 2022.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday afternoon, boss Sean Dyche said: "We felt it appropriate to offer James a new deal on two levels. He's done well in the Premier League and secondly his contract was out of sync. And there's a few more we are talking to."
Former Oldham Athletic centre-back Tarkowski made four appearances for Burnley in their Championship title-winning season and a further 19 last time out when retaining their top-flight status.
Prior to picking up a three-match ban for violent conduct last month, the Englishman had been an ever-present in his side's first 18 league games this term.
