Nathan Collins

Burnley would be a much better move for Collins. He’s still young and needs to play as many matches as he can, if not play every week. He’s a much better chance to do that with Burnley.

If he does as well as some people are predicting, he’ll be in line for a big money move within 2/3 years when he’d still only be 22/23.

They only other interesting option from the rumours would be Leicester, Evans is 33 and Rodgers has shown a willingness to use youth. Would more than likely lead to being a bench player for a while but if he has the talent he could be working his way into the team. Leicester would also be playing on the front foot more which is what we are attempting so would suit his development in that regard

He’s Tarkowskis replacement Collins a right sided CB into replace Tarkowski who it’s been confirmed is leaving. Only question is does Tarkowski stay on the extra year and do Burnley accept him walking for free next year or sell him now and get a fee. Think it’s long odds on they sell 20-25m.

As for Collins great move at worst he will be a squad player this season and come into the side as a Tarkowski replacement in 22/23. He can play right back also and you may even see him nail down the right back slot at some stage this season if Tarkowski stayed. If Lowton got injured Collins will only need one chance to nail down a starting spot hes the real deal. 

The new American owners have literally stated they plan to buy young/semi young talent with a view to them excelling and selling them on as well only recently. Collins fits that bill. 

Trippier Keane Tarkowski a great track record of playing young defenders and improving them too so overall I’m happy with the move. I think Burnley stay up next year too they are well established.
