Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham are all keeping tabs on Brentford skipper Nathan Collins.

Collins only joined Brentford in 2023 from Wolves in a club-record $31 million deal, signing a six-year contract.

New Bees boss and fellow countryman Keith Andrews has hailed Collins as "a natural leader." Brentford was beaten 3-1 by Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

United remains interested in strengthening its defense, having already raided the Bees for Bryan Mbeumo in a $85 million deal.

Tottenham is also exploring defensive options, with new boss Thomas Frank — who left Brentford for Spurs this summer — an admirer of Collins, though his respect for his former club may temper any move.

Brentford are reluctant to sell Nathan Collins.

Collins still has four years left on his contract and has given no indication of seeking a move, while Brentford remains firm in its stance that he is not for sale.

Sources close to the situation describe it as straightforward — a transfer is highly unlikely this summer.

The 23-year-old featured 33 times across all competitions last season, earning recognition for his aerial dominance, positional discipline, and leadership qualities
