Three PL centre-backs Leeds should sign as Bartley returns to Swansea

|

James Tarkowski

Burnley defender Tarkowski would be a like-for-like replacement for Bartley at the back, possessing similar traits in terms of aerial prowess and a sense of leadership.

Behind first-team duo Ben Mee and Michael Keane, former Brentford defender Tarkowski could look to move to guarantee regular game time next season – something which Leeds could offer.

The 24-year-old displays a similar commanding aura to Bartley when on the pitch and that kind of defensive style would help him strike a chord with Jansson, as Bartley did during 2016-17.
