Leeds United will have to pay £25million if they are to tempt Burnley into selling centre back Nathan Collins. That is according to the Sunday Mirror, who claim that the Clarets are willing to listen to offers for Collins, but it will take a substantial fee to prise him away from Turf Moor.
Leeds are just one of a number of Premier League sides keen on signing the 21-year-old defender, with Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers all mentioned as potential destinations. Collins only signed for Burnley from Stoke City last summer in a deal worth around £12 million, but after an impressive second half of the season, the Clarets are looking to double their money.
Following relegation to the Championship on the final day of the season, Burnley have appointed former Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany as their new manager. And although that will be a clear attraction for any centre-back such as Collins, he did cast doubt over his future during an interview on international duty with Republic of Ireland.
