Possessing several talented individuals who have the ability to operate in the Premier League, Vincent Kompany will be hoping to keep the core of the squad together at Burnley. With James Tarkowski and Ben Mee heading for pastures new, even more importance will be placed on trying to keep hold of Nathan Collins.
However, as per an update from talkSPORT’s Alex Crook, Aston Villa, Leeds United and Wolves are all currently monitoring the exciting defender’s situation at Turf Moor.
Outlining who he believes will have the advantage in the race to sign the Republic of Ireland international, Dean Jones told Give Me Sport: “I think he’s definitely a good option for teams with that profile, and I think that Villa will probably have the jump on them in terms of, if they wanted to get him, I think that they would have the best chance of doing so. “Again, because of Steven Gerrard, but also just because of where the club are heading.
So yeah, a really good player that is on the market.” The verdict An exciting talent, who would be a tremendous player for Kompany to have at Championship level, Collins would be a big loss at Turf Moor, especially when considering the upcoming departures of Mee and Tarkowski.
