Wolves in talks to sign Burnley defender Nathan Collins just one year after moving to Turf Moor... in a £20.5m deal that would break the record for the highest fee paid for an Irish player

Wolves are closing in on a £20.5m deal for Burnley centre back Nathan Collins. It would be the highest fee ever paid for an Irish player.

Collins only signed for the Clarets last summer after Stoke accepted a £12million offer for the versatile defender.

The 21-year-old has earned six caps for the Republic of Ireland, scoring once, after making his debut as a substitute against Qatar last October.
