Newcastle United and Aston Villa have both been linked with a summer move for out-of-contract Burnley defender James Tarkowski.

And former Newcastle left-back Jose Enrique believes Tarkowski would be the ‘perfect’ signing for his former club amid interest from Premier League rivals Aston Villa.

Enrique, who played alongside Villa boss Steven Gerrard at Liverpool, went on to suggest that, as a player, he would choose a move to Newcastle over Birmingham due to United’s size and potential under new ownership. This is despite Aston Villa recently confirming the signing of Diego Carlos from Sevilla after the Brazilian was strongly linked with a move to Newcastle in January.
