""It's been a crazy few years with some big lows and some massive highs," Tarkowski told Everton's club website. "We've managed to get through those tough times and, hopefully, now we're on to more positive and exciting times ahead. "It's always been an ambition of mine to play European football. I had a brief spell with Burnley in the qualifiers, but we didn't make it to the group stages, so I want to get there."
"He is also now the Toffees' vice-captain. Indeed, since arriving on Merseyside over three years ago, only Jordan Pickford (120) has appeared more times for Everton in the Premier League than Tarkowski (116). Since his Everton debut, Tarkowski has also won more aerial duels (398), made more headed clearances (395) and made more blocks (188) than any player in the top-flight."
