Nathan Collins continues to be linked with a move away from Brentford, and Tottenham remain interested in him.
They wanted to sign the 24-year-old defender during the summer transfer window as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to return for him next summer. A move in January is highly unlikely. He is the captain of the club, and Brentford will not want to lose him midway through the season.
Tottenham could use another quality defender, especially during rotation and injury problems. Collins would be an excellent addition. He has played for Thomas Frank, and he knows the Danish manager’s system. The Tottenham manager knows the player well, and he will be able to get the best out of him.
Frank has previously labelled him as a “very good” defender.
Tottenham keeping tabs on Nathan Collins
Pete O”Rourke said on Football Insider: “They [Brentford] don’t want to lose Nathan Collins. As you said, there was a bit of interest in the summer from Tottenham. Liverpool were mentioned as well as they were looking at a centre-back.
“If he continues to impress for Brentford and as he’s shown already at such a young age, he’s got those leadership qualities as well, being captain at the club, I’m sure there’ll be clubs monitoring the situation and maybe in the summertime there could be further interest in him.”
Liverpool interested in Collins
Meanwhile, Liverpool are interested in the player as well. They will need to replace Ibrahima Konate when his contract expires in 2026. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can beat them to his signature. They could have an advantage in the race, especially with Thomas Frank in charge. The player could be keen on a reunion with his former manager.
Collins will be attracted to the idea of joining a big club in future as well. The move to Tottenham or Liverpool could be exciting for him.
