Everton have completed the signing of defender James Tarkowski from Championship side Burnley on a four-year contract, the Premier League club said on Saturday.

The 29-year-old, who was out of contract at Turf Moor, becomes Everton's first arrival of the close season.

"It's a massive club. I'm really looking forward to the years ahead and I'm thankful for the opportunity that I've been given," Tarkowski told the club website.

"I'm an ambitious person, I want to achieve, I want to win things and I've come here to be successful."

The centre-back made 35 Premier League appearances for Burnley last season as they were relegated to the Championship following a six-year stint in the top flight. He played 219 games for the club after signing from Brentford in 2016.
