Tottenham -Baas Thomas Frank could be a reunion in a row with a familiar face in the attempt of his team to strengthen the heart of the defense.

The Irish Center-Back, which flourished under the leadership of Frank in Brentford, has again surfaced as a top goal such as Tottenham tries to strengthen their defensive options. But with Brentford that absorbs resistance, the potential deal promises to be a complicated transfersaga.
Collins is no stranger to Frank’s system. During Frank’s term of office in Brentford, Collins became an ordinary starter and developed under his tactical approach.
Tottenham needs more depth in defensive positions
Tottenham regard Collins as an excellent candidate to strengthen Frank’s defense, because they are looking for a long -term partner as a supplement to Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
The defensive unit of Tottenham has recently been investigated. With injuries and inconsistencies that influence the output, adding depth is a priority for Frank’s regime.
Reports suggest that traces have reserved a healthy budget in January, and Collins is supposed to be the central defensive goals.
Spurs are confronted with competition from Premier League-rival Liverpool to sign the 24-year-old.
Thomas Frank may have trouble signing the Captain of Brentford
Despite interest, Brentford does not seem willing to entertain a sale in the January window. The club regards Collins as indispensable, especially after losing important players in the summer.
Even if Spurs continues, different obstacles come up. Collins is under contract until June 2029 (with an option for extension), which means that Brentford has a strong negotiating forces.
Moreover, Tottenham Collins himself has to convince, given that he already has leadership status in Brentford, including club captain.
Frank sees Collins as a trusted and proven part that matches his blueprint. The loyal refusal of Brentford to let go and the financial and contractual realities, however, offer formidable resistance.
