German-Nigerian Nnamdi Collins targeted by Premier League clubs

Nnamdi Collins has become one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe, with several Premier League clubs reportedly preparing bids for the Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old German-Nigerian defender has impressed at Frankfurt this season, attracting attention from England’s elite.

While teammate Nathaniel Brown has generated significant buzz, Collins is seen as a more urgent priority for clubs seeking long-term defensive options.

According to TeamTalk, Arsenal FC view Collins as a serious candidate for their right side, while Liverpool FC, Manchester City, and Newcastle United have already made formal inquiries.

Other Premier League sides, including Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford FC, are also monitoring his situation.

Collins, who hails from Düsseldorf, is under contract with Frankfurt until 30 June 2030. His current market valuation on Transfermarkt stands at €15 million, and he earns an annual salary of €940,000.

Frankfurt are reportedly determined not to release the defender for less than his market value, reflecting his growing importance to the club.

The coming months are likely to see a scramble for Collins’ signature, as Premier League clubs look to strengthen their defensive ranks ahead of the 2026–27 campaign.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s stance suggests that while a move may be inevitable, only a significant offer will secure his departure.

Collins’ combination of youth, physicality, and tactical awareness has made him a rare asset in the current market, heightening the anticipation over where he might play next season.
