Brentford transfer news: Nathan Collins set to become £23m club ...
Brentford have agreed a club-record deal to sign centre-back Nathan Collins from Wolves for £23m.
The transfer for Collins, who signed for Wolves from Burnley last summer for around £20m, will surpass the £21m fee paid for 21-year-old German forward Kevin Schade and make him Brentford's most expensive signing ever.
The 22-year-old Republic of Ireland international, who has 14 caps for his country, will undergo a medical with the west London club in the next few days.

Sky Sports News reported last week that they were in advanced talks to sign the defender.
Centre-back has been a priority position for Brentford this summer as they look to build on their ninth-placed finish in the Premier League last season.
Wolves reportedly rejected an offer from Napoli for another of their centre-backs, Max Kilman. The bid is said to be worth £30.5m but the Premier League side appear to be holding out for more.

The bid from the Serie A champions was thought to be worth £30m. Wolves value Kilman in excess of £35m.
Napoli are looking to replace Min-Jae Kim, who is closing in on a switch to Bayern Munich.
Kilman appeared in all but one of Wolves' Premier League matches last season.
