Reds Join Arsenal And City In Monitoring Frankfurt Defender

26 Feb

Liverpool are reportedly among several Premier League clubs to have scouted Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nnamdi Collins in recent months.

The 22-year-old Germany international, currently playing for Eintracht Frankfurt, has attracted growing interest — with Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford also believed to have made checks.

Why Collins Fits Liverpool’s Profile

At 22, Collins fits the recruitment model Liverpool have leaned towards in recent seasons:

Young High ceiling Physically strong Comfortable in possession

Standing out in the Bundesliga with Frankfurt, he has shown athleticism and composure — traits that would suit the Premier League’s intensity.

Liverpool’s defensive depth has been tested at times this season, and with long-term squad planning underway, it is no surprise the recruitment team are assessing emerging talent.

Competition Will Be Fierce

The presence of Manchester City and Arsenal in the race would significantly raise the stakes.

When multiple top-six clubs are monitoring the same player, it usually indicates genuine potential rather than speculative noise.

Brighton and Brentford’s interest is also notable — both clubs have strong recent track records in identifying high-upside talent before their value explodes.

One To Watch For The Summer?

At this stage, it appears Liverpool are in the scouting and monitoring phase rather than active negotiations.

But with several rivals circling, the situation could accelerate quickly.

If Collins continues his upward trajectory in Germany, a summer move to the Premier League feels increasingly likely.

Whether Liverpool decide to move beyond interest and into action remains to be seen.
