Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Nathan Collins from Brentford, and they are hoping to reunite him with Thomas Frank.
They have recently appointed the Danish manager as a replacement for Ange Postecoglou, and they are now looking to improve their squad.
As per TBR Football, they have identified the 24-year-old central defender as a target, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince Brentford to sell him.
Nathan Collins is a good defender
Collins has been a key player for the Bees in the Premier League, and he made 38 appearances in the league for them last season. Collins contributed to 5 goals in the league as well.
There is no doubt that he is a quality performer, and he is good enough to take the next step in his career and join a bigger club. Competing in the Champions League with Tottenham could be ideal for him. He could be excited to reunite with his former manager as well.
Frank rates the defender highly, and he has previously labelled Collins as a “good leader”.

Brentford star to replace Romero?
With Cristian Romero expected to leave the club, Tottenham could use a quality defender with leadership skills. He could prove to be a very useful acquisition for Tottenham. The player is entering the peak years of his career, and this could be the right move for him.
Romero has been linked with a move to La Liga. The World Cup winner is looking to take the next step in his career and join a club capable of winning league titles and the Champions League. Tottenham will need to replace him adequately.
Signing a player who has proven himself in the Premier League time and again could prove to be a wise decision. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
