# Dyche speaks out regarding Liverpool-Tarkowski links

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has broken his silence on links between James Tarkowski and Liverpool.

[A report in the Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-news-transfers-live-west-15628108) quotes the tactician as addressing the rumours in the following way:

> The only country that asks a question like this is England. Everything is sorted with buying players.

> We have four centre-halves. Three, maybe, two-and-a-half are injured so we’ll have to try and come through in the moment.

> We need them back but you cannot buy a fifth centre-half and say so you play two weeks and after that the others come in.

In a comment on the transfer rumour mill culture that seems to reign supreme in English football, Dyche went on to say:

> There are a lot of rumours out there, and not much fact.

> The most amazing one is the Tarky one. That is just bizarre. It’s that time of the season, and everyone is looking for a snippet, but there is a lot of phantom stuff out there.

Tarkowski has become a defensive force for Burnley, and many have wondered as to the possibility of the Reds signing a new central defender, especially considering they can currently boast just one fit centre-half in Virgil Van Dijk.
