Tottenham have opened talks with Brentford over the potential transfer of Nathan Collins, who currently plays as a defender. Negotiations are active and ongoing after an opening bid was submitted, though there is reportedly still some distance between the clubs on valuation. However, discussions are said to remain open and constructive - as both sides explore whether there is a deal to be done. While Tottenham and Brentford continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Man Utd and Liverpool reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. With only 4 goals conceded in 6 (0.67 per game), Tottenham have been one of the stronger defences in the Premier League this season.. Nathan Collins would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Speculation continues to connect Tottenham with Guler Arda, Georges Mikautadze and Pascal Struijk while no fresh rumours surround Brentford.
