Arsenal told to pay £15m for Championship defender
Arsenal told to pay £15m for Championship defender
Championship side Stoke City are reluctant to sell Nathan Collins to Arsenal unless the north London club are willing to meet their £15m price tag.
Collins, who can play as either a centre-back or right-back, has garnered interest with his performances for the Potters this term.
Burnley recently made an offer of around £5m for the 19-year-old, but the offer was instantly rejected by the Staffordshire outfit.
TEAMtalk now claims that the club want at least £15m for the defender and they have informed the same to the player's suitors which include Arsenal.
Collins still has more than three years remaining on his contract and the Potters are in a strong position to demand a significant fee.
The teenager made his debut for the club during the 2018/19 season and he has since registered 44 appearances in all competitions.
He was a regular off the bench in recent years, but has now established himself, playing the full 90 minutes in the last 13 league games.
