"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."
"It is no secret that they need a quality central defender, and Collins would be a quality addition for them. Ibrahima Konate will be a free agent at the end of the season, and he has not signed an extension with Liverpool. Joe Gomez has been linked with an exit as well. Liverpool must look to bring in a quality central defender as soon as possible. Collins has proven himself with Brentford, and he has the quality to play for a bigger club."
Brentford are reluctant to sell 24-year-old captain Nathan Collins despite interest from Tottenham and monitoring by Liverpool. Collins has shown leadership and defensive quality at a young age, making him an attractive target. Tottenham pursued him in the summer but failed to complete a deal. Liverpool face central-defender needs with Konate's contract uncertainty and Gomez linked with exit, increasing interest in Collins. Brentford are unlikely to sanction a January sale and would demand a premium, meaning any transfer is more likely to occur in the summer when clubs may submit formal proposals.
