Leeds United are said to be interesting in signing Nathan Collins as they believe he is a player with huge potential. The Burnley centre-back was a rare shining light in their thoroughly disappointing season which ultimately ended with relegation.
Despite finishing above the Clarets, Leeds were nowhere as stable at the back and look keen to address their defensive frailties this summer. Only Norwich conceded more goals than the Whites who leaked 79 goals in their 38 games, 26 more than relegated Burnley.
Sean Dyche’s, and then Mike Jackson’s, side struggled at the other end of the pitch where they scored less than a goal a game on average. Defensively, it was a different story as 10 Premier League teams conceded more goals than Burnley.
