# Wolves: Wanderers still keen on Nathan Collins signing

**Burnley centre-back Nathan Collins is still a summer transfer target for [Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) ahead of next season, journalist Alan Nixon has claimed.**

### The Lowdown: Collins linked with Wolves move

The 21-year-old had an impressive season for the Clarets, proving to be one of the few bright sparks in a campaign that saw them relegated from the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

Collins looks likely to remain in the top flight and join another club this summer, considering his current level is arguably too good for the Championship, ranking as Burnley’s [fourth-best player](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/184/Show/England-Burnley) in top-flight action last season.

Wolves have been [linked](https://www.footballfancast.com/wolves-news/wolves-nathan-collins-transfer-news-burnley-premier-league-bruno-lage-update-gossip-rumour) with a move for the defender and it is a rumour that is refusing to go away.

### The Latest: Journalist provides fresh update

According to Nixon on his [*Patreon*](https://www.patreon.com/posts/wolves-move-for-68006947) \[via [*The Lancashire Telegraph*](https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/20221955.wolves-want-burnley-centre-back-nathan-collins---transfer-gossip/)\], Wolves remains keen on bringing Collins to Molineux this summer.

It is claimed that Burnley are asking for a sizeable £40million for the Republic of Ireland international’s services, however, with Newcastle United and Leeds United also interested.

### The Verdict: Great option for Wanderers

While Collins’ transfer fee is admittedly high, he is someone Wolves should definitely be looking at this summer if they can bring that number down a touch, as Bruno Lage looks to replace the departed Romain Saiss.

Sean Dyche [described](https://punditarena.com/football/andrewdempsey/nathan-collins-sean-dyche-burnley-premier-league/) the youngster as ‘excellent’ last season and he made an average of [4.3 clearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/372724/Show/Nathan-Collins) per game in the league, as well as winning 3.1 aerial duels per match. In Wolves’ current squad, [only Saiss](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolverhampton) made more clearances per game and [only Toti](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolverhampton) won more headers.

At 21, Collins would be a long-term acquisition who could potentially be Max Kilman’s long-term partner at the back, assuming the latter stays put at Wolves.
