Wolves defender Nathan Collins is in the sights of two other Premier League clubs, as Brentford attempt to finalise a transfer.
The 22-year-old is seemingly going to be the next player to leave Molineux after Ruben Neves.
Last week, news emerged of the Bees’ interest.
Thomas Frank wants to add a defender with Premier League experience to his squad.
Seemingly, Brentford are hopeful of taking advantage of Wolves’ current financial predicament.
They entered into talks with Wolves last week but are still trying to close a deal.
Nathan Collins now being monitored by Nottingham Forest and West Ham
According to a report from The Sun, Brentford are not the only club keen on Collins.
It is mentioned that, while the Bees have made three bids for Collins, Nottingham Forest and West Ham United are ‘monitoring’ the player.
Neither has tabled a formal bid. But it is stated that that could change if Wolves accept an offer from Brentford.
It is thought that Wolves are holding out for about £25 million.
Brentford’s third bid is apparently £23 million plus some add-ons.
They are said to be only looking at Collins right now as a new centre-back option.
Potential boost for Wolves as Forest and West Ham eye Nathan Collins
Brentford are seemingly still in the driving seat over Collins.
But this line that Forest and West Ham are also just monitoring could be a good thing for Wolves.
With player sales this summer especially, it is all about getting the absolute maximum in order to balance the books and give Julen Lopetegui the biggest budget possible.
Other clubs being keen on Collins increases the potential for a bidding war to break out.
In an ideal world, either Forest or West Ham will come in and rival Brentford for Collins and push the bidding more towards the £30 million mark.
