Liverpool is reportedly among six Premier League clubs scouting Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nnamdi Collins, with the 22-year-old eager for a Premier League moveNnamdi Collins of Eintracht Frankfurt looks on(Image: Inaki Esnaola/Getty Images)Liverpool made a triple swoop in the Bundesliga during the summer and the Reds might be making a return to the German top tier when the transfer window swings open again.After clinching the Premier League title, the champions struck a double deal with Bayer Leverkusen, signing Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz before snapping up Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt.Now, one of Ekitike's former Frankfurt colleagues is reportedly drawing the attention of the Reds, who continue their quest for a top-four finish against Wolves on Tuesday. Last week, reports surfaced that Liverpool, along with Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Brighton and Hove Albion and Brentford, have all been scouting Nnamdi Collins, a robust, speedy and aerially dominant right-back or centrer-back.READ MORE: Liverpool gets Jeremy Jacquet update as worst injury fears come trueREAD MORE: Arne Slot explains how Jeremie Frimpong absence has impacted Liverpool title defenseA fresh report from Sky Sport in Germany now suggests that the 22-year-old is looking to depart Eintracht in the summer and has recently switched his agency as he gears up for the next phase of his career.The report further states that the Reds are among the interested parties, asserting that they have been scouting Collins.The adaptable defender, who also recently played at left-back, began his career at Borussia Dortmund and was the subject of an unsuccessful bid by Chelsea before transferring to their Bundesliga rivals, who are now managed by former Liverpool winger Albert Riera.Collins' contract extends until 2030 and reports indicate that Frankfurt's sporting director Markus Krosche would be seeking a fee in the vicinity of £35m ($47M)The player himself has previously expressed his ambition to make the switch to the Premier League and represent one club in particular.Speaking in September, Collins said: "I simply think the Premier League is fantastic, especially Liverpool.

However, there is little doubt that defence is an area of the pitch they are likely to continue bolstering this summer.Jeremy Jacquet will arrive in the summer(Image: Getty Images)Liverpool has already agreed terms to sign Jeremy Jacquet for a fee of up to £55m ($73M). The center-half is spending the remainder of the campaign at Rennes before his move to Merseyside in July.Nevertheless, he is unlikely to feature much before then after picking up a shoulder injury.Last summer the Reds recruited another highly-rated young centre-back, Giovanni Leoni, for £26m from Parma.

However, like Jacquet, the 19 year old is presently on the sidelines after suffering a devastating ACL injury on his debut for the club in September.Meanwhile, uncertainty lingers over the future of one of the club's primary centre-backs, Ibrahima Konate, whose contract is set to expire in the summer. Modern-day Liverpool icon, Andy Robertson, finds himself in a similar predicament, having narrowly avoided a move to Tottenham Hotspur during the January transfer window.The Reds are better equipped in the right-back position, but whilst Frimpong has recovered from an injury-riddled debut season, the injured Conor Bradley won't feature again this campaign, and head coach Arne Slot has frequently had to deploy midfielders, such as standout player Dominik Szoboszlai, out of their natural role.A player possessing the adaptability of Collins would undoubtedly meet many requirements.
